Emotional well-being

Financial worries and job loss are making many people lose their balance and emotional well-being. That is only one half of the picture — the other half is this: many of the world’s richest people have all the money they want, but their material prosperity has not assured them of peace and contentment. It is time, then, that we realise that happiness is in the mind, not in the objects we possess, not in our bank accounts.

Money can definitely give us lots of comforts; some people actually say money can buy anything — but money cannot buy us happiness. Money cannot buy us peace of mind. Money cannot assure us of our emotional well-being. I know many of us would love to have a million dollars. But let me ask you, if someone were to offer you a million dollars, would you give away both your eyes?

When you become aware of the ‘abundance’ in your own life, your attitude will change; your emotions will regain their lost balance and you will be prepared to face ‘lean’ and ‘dark’ days with a more positive and constructive attitude. What do I mean when I talk about ‘abundance’?

I refer not only to material wealth — in fact, I am quite sure that money is not the most valuable thing in our lives.


The trouble with most of us is that we are so busy chasing after more — more money, more comforts, more opportunities — that we fail to appreciate what we have already. Count your blessings. And you will be filled with hope, optimism and faith that will help you face the challenges of life.
