This is nothing short of “eye-opening” to me, great post. I have been thinking along the same lines, and really money is only needed for continuing our lifestyle. It has nothing to do with happiness, and sometimes makes it harder to be fulfilled if we chase it too hard. Love your writing style and philosophy of life, thanks again (I shared on facebook, too)

Being Happy, Does this really work ? does reading such positive inspirational thoughts make a change for lifetime ?

I keep on reading so many such quotations regularly and especially on Sunday, it helps me to start my monday with +ve set up of mind but i am not sure whether it changes my overall outlook all the time,

btw, I liked your posts, really good.

Great post, and I hope many people read it! I believe that if you can’t find happiness at any time in any condition, financial freedom won’t change that. In a way people who do unexpectedly reach financial freedom without figuring this out are lucky but not because of the freedom. It’s because they’re suddenly forced to see the harm they do to themselves and they have a chance to correct it earlier (or they can just start doing increasingly strange and unnatural things to hide from the truth). They’re lucky in the same way as someone who gets fired from a job they couldn’t stand. In the end no one has to give you permission to open your eyes and wake up though

Hi Todd,

Great meeting you at the Financial Bloggers Conference! I found this post really insightful, and I’m glad to hear it’s based off your real-life experience. This is the type of things that I know I’ve needed to concentrate on for some time now, but I’ve never really followed through. I think that by writing how it’s related to wealth has made me realize how important this is.

I’ve printed out the sheets and I’m going to give it my best effort.

Thanks for the excellent post. I agree that we should strive for a balance in everything we do. Personal freedom is what i am aiming for now and i too believe that to achieve financial freedom is not the ultimate goal after all. We all should ponder about this since our life on earth is not going to be that long. Thanks so much for sharing. I love it…..

Hi Todd,
Thank you for sharing these good words full of wisdom, much appreciated.
My favorite is the fact that financial freedom only removes all excuses that can be used to justify unhappiness. It’s obvious now but I had to read it to really understand this reality.
Happiness is really independant of everything else. It only depends on the way we think and behave, and can happen as early as now if we decide so.

Thanks again and I wish you all the best.
