WHO SAID YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL?

WHO SAID YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL?

'Just not all at once.' (Oprah Winfrey). We all desire to be happy. It's your eternal crusade! It's your destiny. You can be flat broke and still be happy. Your real wealth cannot be measured. You can be wealthy in material things and very unhappy. It's all in the mind. 

Greed and envy cause a lot of stress. Wouldn't you sometimes wish to be just an unemotional robot? Not really. Make the best of what you have. Keep reinventing yourself. Then you'll never get bored. Ignore all the reminders of everything you're unable to become. Then you'll look forward to what the next day has in store for you. Life is full of surprises. 

Everyone needs a regular reset. In hard times, you need a return to joy. You'll always have some true relationships, several shoulders to lean on, your own wonderful past experiences, your music, your books. Forget the strangers on social media. That's a trap.

Just imagine, whatever makes you happy. Get a feeling of richness and you could be very rich, while poor. Do you feel inspired yet? You can have it all and that'll really bring a smile to your face.
