This is one of the most important topic that needs to be clear from your thinking because we all are lying in the same category no matter how much rich we become. Today’s world is aiming for money but it’s never easy to earn money and most importantly life is still never easy having a lot of money.
You might think about earning money but you will absolutely lose it within a certain period of time. Money has become so important part of our life that we always think we are living here for money.
If it’s no then go to your past and ask yourself what you wanted to become. Was that some highly imaginative dream? Was it an idea of becoming rich? So where are you now? Are you still rich? At what position are you ranking in the world? Are you listed on the Forbes? So some questions are not answerable at all.
Do you know that even the world’s richest person is still not happy with his fortune. It might look tough to think how that is even possible. Because it is a measurement of success. People who are aiming for money are never satisfied.
They are never satisfied because they actually never aim for how much they want. It’s like we are never satisfied with our present lifestyle and want to improve till we reach the best. And that is a serious tragedy for the humans living on this planet because we never reach the best. In this article we will learn deeply more about why these rich men and women are never satisfied with their figures.
Whenever we think about these rich people the only thought that always revolves around our mind is how rich they might be. Just think about you on the place of Jeff Bezos. Ah! That’s great. Luxury everywhere, even your private parts resembles a diamond.
We think about them like this in such a deep manner that we start searching on Google about how to become rich. That’s actually not called an inspiration. We think that we are inspired by them but it’s an illusion. So the first reason for unhappiness in life is inspiration through illusion.
1. INSPIRATION THROUGH ILLUSION
We get inspired by an illusion which is far from the reality. Let’s take the previous example. So you wanted to become someone like Jeff Bezos? Right? But would you be able to handle his fortune? Let me tell you that if I transfer you in his place in few moments, you won’t be able to survive at all. That’s true because more than the wealth, there are more number of responsibilities lying out there, which might be unbearable to your mental strength.
You need to understand how a simple illusion can be so hurtful to your growth that you always expect. These illusions we think as inspirations are just an external part of our thoughts. The truth lies inside that illusion. If you compare your growth with him then you might look like a tiny ant. Don’t feel demotivated because that’s the truth.
No one can compare with him. But have you ever though what actually makes him so powerful and precious. It’s his idea to grow. I mean, what he thinks contributes towards his growth. Most of the people have this problem of spoon feeding. When they listen to the word growth, they start searching about how to grow, what to grow and how to do it. Common stop acting like a kid. Search engine is not there for your personal problem.
We need to understand that competition at the current rate is at its highest. We are competing with each other in order to find that job or that relationship but a struggle cannot be found out on internet. One of the major illusion the world if facing is through the internet itself. At the most social media. Social media is said to be toxic because it harms our productivity but most importantly it’s an illusion to those unrealistic thoughts.
Let’s take example of Instagram. So generally what do you find on Instagram. If you scroll through the search feed, you will find a number of posts which are edited. And it’s kind of editing which actually looks like realistic. I am not only talking about Instagram, but every social platform is based on an illusion.
What we think depends on what we see. If we all day scroll through our Instagram feed then our mind also processes those illusions. See, if you look back in ninety’s this kind of illusion never existed. And people thought more about the realistic ideas. Realistic approach was the only way to succeed.
The present world needs a realistic approach. Just imagining and dreaming about illusions will never lead to achievements. And that’s why you need to have control on your thought process. I mean think with a realistic approach.
2. SUCCESSFUL PLANNING BUT NO ACTIONS
This is one of my favourite and basically I did it so much that I used to forget to work over it. There are people who will organize their schedules but will be zero in their performance. And that is why they suffer in very brutal manner. I know I should never say like that but it’s the reality because planning is just five percent to achieve your goals. Rest ninety-five percent depends on your actions.
If you observe the list of successful people in terms of money then the most important part of the game is working. Because sometimes plans never proceed in the way we think. Actions are so important because even if your plan doesn’t go as per your way then too you can succeed. Actually our plans never go as per our thinking because of no experience.
Let’s take an example of a trip. We all have travelled with our friends or with our family to different places. So what we do before advancing to the trip. Of course, we plan out with utmost perfection. We search on Google about the places to visit and we also ask someone who has visited that place.
Basically I want to explain that when we are new to a place, planning becomes important. But will you feel happy if you just plan and sit home by seeing videos about that place. Yes, we need to execute that plan and thus we need to proceed to further step.
When we visit that place then almost it looks different from what we have seen on those videos or images on the internet. Right? And when we further proceed to different destination or tourist attraction, there are constraints with time or some other reasons.
Meaning, we are never perfect with planning and let me tell you we can never be because we all are humans. At least somewhere, we will fail and that’s why you shouldn’t waste your time in planning because at last it will be a cause of unhappiness.
If you take example of billionaires around the world, some of them never thought they would be rich. And yes some rich people never determine to become rich. Then what’s that important point which helps them to do so. Planning is important but most important part is the way you execute that plan in a consistent manner. So next reason of unhappiness is expecting high results without working for it.
3. HIGH EXPECTATIONS LOW STRUGGLES
Here is where more than eighty percent of the competition fails. How can someone achieve success without sticking to the routine? Suppose today you have consumed too much of healthy food. Then will you be able to skip it tomorrow? One day might be fine but what if it extends to three or four days? And that’s what we are doing opposite with our purpose and goals.
We stick to our goals for a limited period of time and then think about achievements. This 21st century is unique by its competitions. It’s so huge that you can’t even imagine if you try to compete with the world. Practically it is impossible to compete with everyone, but remember unless you don’t stick to your goal you won’t be able to succeed for what you are always thinking about.
Expectation can be fatal. Things go viral not only on internet but even in practical life. It is possible only when you struggle not only today, but every possible day. And that is what we call it as consistent efforts. If you think about a particular time or period then please don’t expect success or any kind of happiness.
4. UNLIMITED SATISFACTION
This is the final and most important point where everyone fails. Even in relationships this can affect you at large extent. Let’s take an example. Suppose you are a man married to a woman who expects to stay committed in the relationship. And yes everyone expects commitment. But one day an odd situation takes place. You find yourself cheating with your woman because of that uncontrolled desire.
You find yourself degrading your commitments. And the only reason for that are those pretty faces and nice hair which arouses you. But you know what unless you don’t create that boundary of satisfaction, your wants will go on increasing. You cannot taste each and every person just for your desire. That’s what lies with our aim.
If you observe those billionaires, they are never tired of earning money. It might be their passion, but it’s important to understand that success is not everything. If you are not happy with what you have, you won’t be happy at all. That’s the reality because humans are said to be greedy.
If a man is aims to keep multiple relationships at the same time then he will do it but that greed also destroys his internal emotions. That’s why marriage was invented in order to satisfy our needs. So I will frame a beautiful quote at the last and it’s one of my favourite.
“Our Earth Has Enough Resources To Satisfy Every Man’s Need But Not Every Man’s Greed.”
It’s true because our mother earth has plenty of resources to survive and lead a beautiful life. But when we pass that limit and settle with our greed then it causes havoc not only in your life but also for other people. Remember greediness is the most important point of unhappiness and dissatisfaction.
