Money Money Money

Money is a funny thing. When I have less, I realise I don’t need that much to enjoy life. When I have a lot, I think I need everything I see. Then I begin to wonder where on earth I got caught up in the desire to want so much. I get lost in the confusion of it all .You see, deep down somewhere in my soul I know that the more material things I'm able to buy the less they begin to mean to me

Unfortunately, money and wealth are often how we have learned to identify ourselves. Then; when we find ourselves with less, we think we have to learn a new set of values,but sure they’re not new at all, they are what we come into the world with, but we have lost along the way.

When we earn a lot, we treat ourselves to numerous pampering therapies etc Sure; we deserve them don’t we!! When we earn less we can’t afford them so we do without.

Because we don’t have as much money to spend, we find cheaper ways to fill time and relax. We find ourselves rediscovering walking, going to the beach, recycling /up styling, cooking …even growing a few vegetables.

After a while, we realise that the change in our lifestyle means that we didn’t need all the therapies in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So; as I ponder and reflect over the meaning of life ; I ask myself today .

, Would I like to win the lotto??

Pause, "mmmmmmmm let me think for a minute about that"
