Would you rather be rich and miserable or poor and happy, and why?

Please let me explain. My father lost his salary when I moved a few years ago. In pursuit of happiness, he found a new job and moved to Tennessee when he first lived outside Florida.

In his old work, his boss pledges to him. When we were on vacation, they left him an ugly voicemail (and totally ruined all of us). That person's reputation. They were unfamiliar and vulgar during the conference and kept working for over 4 hours (they should be 1 to 2 years old). As a result, he began to feel pain in his chest. He was very nervous and was careful all day. His health dropped dramatically, and we truly thought he would be younger than he should be. He knows what he has to do for him - he is not happy

So he packed his bag and moved to Tennessee to sell us. I have not seen him for three months - they are the worst three months for all of us.

I know that when I meet him for the first time after conversion, I become a poor and happier person than a wealthy and unhappy person. He is another person both physically and mentally. Yes, our money is small, but * we are very happy

* There is no claim that we are poor, or something - but it is not, this is the same idea. Much more money and misfortune, or less money and happiness?

I remember how many years ago I asked my mother how poor she was, happy or wealthy and miserable. We are a poor family, money is constantly under pressure. She answered "Thank you rich and tragic." This seems like a crazy reaction, but in reality she actually does not want to make myself miserable. No one will do it. Just like everyone else, she thought that if he was wealthy and miserable she could use money to calculate her happiness. She can buy happiness. Happiness comes from feeling content. It has been found in appreciation and forgiveness, which is reflected in productivity and personal achievement. It is built into the process of helping others and feeling value. As the cartoon suggests, happiness can only be created by ourselves and our way of thinking behaviors. We are a filter between ourselves and happiness. There is nothing else. We are responsible for making an environment blooming for happiness, you can choose to do so.

Sometimes you will hear cash-tied intellectual muse, and many millionaires may be secretly miserable. Let's clarify: wealth is better than poverty, and ultra wealthy people are truly amazing. There are many super rich people, they are very happy and maintain a healthy inner peace including Red Hoffman who has worked with me for many years. Yes, yes, super rich are really good. But it is probably not the reason you think. Yes, I will take a private jet. You always eat delicious food, you will have an assistant and servant to save your time. The problem is what the psychologist calls "pleasure treadmill" - it quickly adapted to the enjoyment of these substances. The private jet was not so special with the 20th appearance. You may not only surprise you in your plane but only compare it (usually not favorable) with other private jets you used. I am not supplementing this anecdote.
