Best Things Money Can't Buy

andra picincu
We dedicate our time and life for money directly or not. If we desire to have the house of our dreams (or at least, a house of our own), we need money. If we want to offer the best to our children, we need financial resources. Some of us can be self confident and happy only if they afford to buy things that satisfy them. Sometimes, we fail in our attempt to achieve a better job or the desired position, just because others have more money and relations than we do. Life is not fair, but pure happiness can't be achieved entirely through money.

1. A day in which to do nothing. Sometimes you need such a day to relax, in order to gain energy and forget for one moment about your daily worries;

2. Time for your kids. We often forget to enjoy our children, being too busy with our work and plans, which, otherwise, are meant to make our life easier. Remember that children are the best thing in life, and turn them a smile every time they tell you "mom";

3. A nap. What can be more pleasant than having a nap in the afternoon, or sleeping 10 minutes more in the morning?

4. True friends. Unfortunately, they are increasingly rare. If you're happy to have such people next to you, love them and respect them unconditionally.

5. The happiness of someone who receives your gift. To make a gift or a surprise to someone you love is often more pleasant than to receive.

6. You imagined many times the first Christmas of your child. Although he is still little and doesn't know what the holiday meaning is, the first Christmas in your family life will be unforgettable.

7. The first snow of the year. Children seem to be most affected, but admit it, wouldn't you be enchanted even for a few moments to remember your childhood winters and to enjoy the first snowflakes?

8. To feel good about yourself in a society like that we live in, obsessed by image and perfect shapes. It is increasingly easy to forget and become ignorant regarding the true gifts that we received. Health is the most precious thing.

9. The satisfaction of an assumed risk. Fear of failure makes us many times to lose the great trains of life, but don't forget: fate helps only the brave ones.

10. Love. Always remember to appreciate the others' feelings for you.

    I agree that we gotta set some time aside to relax, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to improve the way our system is. Life in they way things are right now is far worse than just not fair. War, poverty, and greed are rampant. People are being screwed over everyday.
