Spend on people not things

We all need money in life and there is nothing wrong with money. There is nothing wrong in people or businesses making money.

It is what we then choose to do with that money that matters.

If we choose to accumulate money purely to buy a lifestyle and spend it on material things, hoping that will bring happiness, then it might be a very long wait for happiness to turn up.

However, another option is to accumulate money and spend it doing activities with others, with friends, with loved ones. This is where the joy of life comes from because this is where we create memories, legacies, this is how we leave memories in the heads of others to enjoy after we have ended our journies.

No one remembers paying the bills or how many iPhone upgrades we had. The size of our house, car, bank balances or the labels on the clothes we wear will matter not at the end of our lives.

The places we visited, the activities we enjoyed, the people we met, the people we loved, the people we helped and the ‘art’ we created and shared will be what matters.

Spend with people, create abundance to help others not to buy things.

Share your gift

I blogged recently about choosing yourself and not waiting to be chosen.

However once you have gone down the path of choosing yourself comes the need to share what we create.

If we have an idea and simply keep it to ourselves through fear, often the fear of rejection or ridicule, then it has not been born or created.

In order to actually turn an idea into something real and tangible, we have to share it with others.

If we choose the right people to share it with, learn from each thing that we share, modifying along the way, then we have chosen ourselves, shared our work and we will be appreciated by the people who matter.

Fear can be overcome, the critic doesn’t matter, as they have not stepped in the ‘ring, however, regret lasts. Criticism is irrelevant, feedback from the ones who love us matter.

Choose yourself and share your own unique gift, we all have one.
