by Most people have an end goal in mind, like if I work hard today and earn X amount of money, I’ll be set and done. I can retire if I have this and that. I am only doing this now so that I can later do what I really love to do. This is basic nature of a crude mind. Our mind wants to believe that things would change fundamentally and somehow future would be very different (in a good way) from present.
The basic truth is: even if you get now what you are working soo hard to get at your retirement, it wont solve a thing. You would feel good for a few moments and then you’ll get used to it and eventually be sick of it. I don’t mean to say stop thinking ahead or stop growing, all I want is that you understand this simple fact. You can never earn enough money to reach this blissful state of mind which you aspire to reach using money or equity. So what to do now ?
Live in Present
The only truth in this world is time. We all are bound by time. No matter how rich or poor you are, you have the same number of hours in a day. So start valuing your time and spend this current moment in becoming the person you want to be after few years. Stop procrastination.
Content
You need to find the balance between desire and content. The ladder of desire is unending and you only see part of it. Once you reach the end you saw earlier, you’ll quickly realize you are not there yet. Understand that being human is enjoying the highs and lows.
