Do you wish you had more than you have?

Question

wouldn't you be happy if you were loaded with lots of money? I am an average person living on average life style in an average home, earning average salary, with average family and doing my best as a mum to provide the best for my children and they aren't missing out.. but I still stress and get intimidated into greed and wishing i was richer, thinking if i wa richer i wouldn't have a lot of bills,wouldn't have to pay for mortgage, send my babies to good schools etc etc although i should appreciate what i have compare to other people... am I a greedy person? or ungrateful? Are these normal thoughts? At the end of the day to me they're just thoughts am not going to go rob a bank to fulfil my dreams i'd rather work for it! Are Rich people happy?

Answer 2

NO you are not greedy don't we all have secret desires?? everyone wants what they cant have its human element. I don't want to suggest anything about you but maybe you should appreciate the smaller/finer things in life such as your children (not to say you don't, but do you know what i mean). You cant help what happens between your ears they're just thought. Don't worry

Happiness comes from within you. Nothing can magically make you happy although yes money helps make things easier.  It is human to strive for Mastery and thirst for more but don't let this thirst for riches overcome you and blind you from the REAL treasures in life.  Remember to be grateful for the blessings you do have.  You have eternal life in your reach.  Children are the way in which we stay alive long after our bodies die. Instilling in them the pureness and simplicity of life along with your love will carry on in their hearts to their own children.  You have the greatest gift in the world( your beautiful, healthy children. This is more than money can ever give you. humble yourself and make a list of what you take for granted, Look at those who are less fortunate than you, there are millions that would give their lives to have what you take for granted.
