Money Isn't Everything

I read a wonderful community of bloggers called Reality Sandwich, upon which I find a lot of wonderful ecologically important views and updates, and also stories of people's experiences with drugs, meditation, and their journeys to higher levels of consciousness. When reading these blogs and articles it reminds me that money isn't everything, which is a very simple idea that almost everyone knows, but no one can move past. They're hindered by themselves and they can't see that if they just go out and do what they really love to do they'll be happy enough to not worry about money. It's a sort of self completion.

I, personally, haven't found that sort of happiness yet, but I'm working to it. The first step is recognizing the actuality of the world, the next is acting on the world. I'm not quite there yet. The thought of a world without money would be very wonderful, if it didn't seem so impossible in our reality. The thing to focus on though, instead of despairing in a world where there is always going to be some form of money we need to focus on the positive qualities in our life. The earth and the sun and the trees and people that surround us are really all we need to be happy in our daily routine. It's intuit to our nature to be happy with these things, it's when people's psychology is affected by media and upbringing that they decide that outdoors isn't meant for them.

You decide your own feelings, not your mind. You can be happy if you think about happy things. You can be sad, and stay sad, if all you think about is how full of despair the world is. While recognizing the bad in our life isn't always a negative thing, to keep ourselves sane and healthy we have to focus more on the good in our lives, even if it may seem very small. It's not that small, because it's important enough for you to make yourself feel good, and feeling good is one of the primary goals of a lot of people, so it must be pretty important to have good things in your life.
