These are great thoughts. You got me thinking about the fact that less money forces you to value everything else much more. As more money comes in, we start to value things less. But I also find that if someone has worked hard for their money, there is always a sense of value for things. Its only those who get the money without earning it that cannot put a real value onto things. Just my thoughts.

Good points and an important post in the times of excess and greed. People just are naturally jealous and envy what other people have, not realizing that comparing oneself to other people is what makes you actually unhappy – there is always someone who has more money or a nicer car than you have, so the solution is to stop comparing.

It is amazing how much more time (and money) we have in our lives after we stop buying stuff that we really don’t need. It enables us to work much less and do more of those “unproductive things” we love to do that can actually be very productive regarding our own personal happiness.

So let us all focus on wanting less irrelevant things in our lives.

Less is definitely more. Living in a life filled with clutters tend to suck out our precious commodity – time, to deal with it. So live with less is definitely a great choice to make.

Great stuff regarding the less money. So many people think more money will solve your problems. I always ask them, How many of your problems will disappear with $10,000? The answer of course is none, only an attitude change can make it happen.

I enjoyed this very much. I think one of the keys in ending negative thinking is not to focus on stopping the thoughts but rather replacing them with better, healthier ones. It’s not always easy but, it’s always worth trying!

Dragos -

I love the concept of being in flux between two extremes. I strive to find the right place on the scale and know this is a constant balancing act. Every action we take rules out another choice we had. You’ve captured some of the paradoxes really nicely. The money one resonates for me – I hadn’t thought of it as raw energy before and that is a nice metaphor.

Thanks,

Phil

Wonderful post, Dragos! Thanks for sharing this. I agree with you that less negative thoughts will make room for more positive thoughts. I would just like to add that in order to do this, one has to find out his underlying values. What experiences does he want to get out of something? Once he figures out what his underlying values are, it would be easier for him to focus on the positive aspects of his life.
