Pooja Bedi Instagram – Can money buy Happiness? Of course! Happiness is an emotion that is momentary. A new car, the home you dreamed of, the outfit you feel so fabulous in, the holiday you went on… the wonderful wedding you were able to afford… a movie you watched…All of it …. brought you happiness! To those who say, “but it doesn’t last”, well obviously it doesn’t. Neither does the happiness caused by your child’s first step, or your first kiss, or the loving arms your mother wrapped you in. Everyone goes back to their stress, worries and daily ruts, no matter what the source of happiness was that passed by. The rhetoric “money can’t buy you happiness”, needs a rethink. It buys you MANY moments of happiness, and for that we must be grateful, not dismissive. We are human and cry we all will, but would you rather cry on a hot sidewalk or in a beautiful home? in an overcrowded bus or in a mercedes? Rejection of money as a source of happiness and despising the rich is a negative space to be in. We create our own happiness by loving, appreciating, celebrating and recognising ALL the different ways we can be happy. Material and non-material. So Chase your dreams, do what makes you smile, be naughty, be funny… be loving because it feels good. Give someone a random compliment, or a surprise gift. Thank money for all it brings into your life, and for all the things it enables you to bring into the lives of others. Karma is a wonderful friend to walk through life with. count your blessings, and share them. Gratitude is when you count your blessings. Jealousy is when you count blessings given to others. I wish that each of you find new ways every day to smile and bring a smile to someone else’s face.
