Happiness comes from having the time and money to experience the life you want, when you want it. Yet most of us exchange our time — and our best years — for money, only to reach a point where we no longer have the time, energy, or freedom to enjoy what we worked for. Meanwhile, a tiny few get to live that life by accumulating enough wealth at the expense of billions of others all wanting the same thing.

Quality of life minus envy. “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Look around. Be grateful.

Comparison is pointless doesn’t matter what level you get to someone else will always be a level ahead of you, that’s a miserable way to measure.

I try to do this with my chores: instead of being like, “ughh, I don’t want to go mow the lawn” l try to remind myself that I’m lucky to have a house with a nice lawn that needs to be mowed. This works for all chores including paying bills even though that seems crazy. I’m thankful to have bills to pay for services I’m grateful to have.

Because people need Jesus. Once you accept him and embrace him, jealousy disappears.

We are not happy because there is no community like back then. I guess.

..and if he believed his own words, he wouldn't have avoided paying tax because he was SO rich in life.

to live in a lifetime of modern medicine where babies don't die in their first years of life but to have yours die is the most painful things

💯 correct- but also remember that this only applies for a small %of the world population today. I have always told my sons that they were born in the lucky country 🇦🇺. To have the simple things in life, fresh air and water, food on the table and a roof over their head. But it’s also about perspective- some of the happiest and genuine people I have met around the world have what most westerners say have nothing. 🤔🤔🤔

I can listen to whatever music I want to whenever I want to. I have access to fresh vegetables year round. No one before Queen Elizabeth II had that.
