We should not forget our real intention

Happiness is the most important thing for us and money is one of the most important elements of happiness. Making money requires efforts and we work hard to make money as much as we can. We are chasing money desperately and I also know the reason behind it. We need to give our best in the work for earning and to earn extra we work overtime thinking that extra money can be considered as savings for the future. It’s the thoughts of common people and most people think about it in the way.

Making money is important but what about health? I am talking about both mental and physical health. We are chasing money desperately so that we forget to take care of our health. What if we become sick and later, we won’t even get the chance to enjoy the comfort for what we are working tirelessly. I am sure we will regret it if such a situation happens. After getting married, one work for the family. They work overtime to secure the future of their children and it’s also understandable but what if they become sick because of stress or work pressure. Will the family become happy in that condition? I don’t think so?

I can work till my body is exhausted to make money and I may do it for a year as my body can take it, but what will happen after a year. My body will start to take effects for it, and I may encounter sickness because it is very natural. For my sickness I may need to pay more than what I earn in a year by overtime. And it’s not necessarily true I can recover from the sickness. Just imagine I choose to ignore it and die after a certain time. What will happen? Obviously, the earnings will be cut off, and it will affect the financial condition of my family. In both cases my family suffers losses. If one thinks about the long term, I think it’s better to focus on health also while earning money. We can’t afford to be careless here.

Again, just imagine we work overtime and we don’t become sick, but stress is something we need to deal with. If we exhaust ourselves, after going home we need to get rest and from the next day we need to repeat it. If we spend our days like that, when we will enjoy our family time? Besides, because of stress it can affect the relationship between family members also. It may affect slowly which may be hard to notice.

Finally, I want to ask why we are working? It’s for earning money. But why we are earning money? To be happy in life. How can we be happy without spending time with family members? While we are chasing money, we forget our real intention and our real intention is to be happy in life. If we want to be happy in life, we need to balance our work and personal life enjoying quality time with family and friends. Additionally, we need to enjoy our life while earning money. We should think about long term and it’s impossible to achieve if we don’t balance our work and personal life.
