Below are five powerful things Money can never buy.
(1). Time
Everybody in this world have just 24 hours everyday. But nobody, with all his or her wealth, has been able to purchase an extra hour, not even a second.
This is why it's important to let our loved ones know how much we love them because nobody knows when they will die.
If you hurt a friend, apologise before it's too late. - If you have kids or family, stop telling them your busy and dont have time to play with them. Create time for your friends and family.
(2). Health
Although, money can enable one to look healthy, but it cannot sustain one’s health. We have heard of billionaires who died of sickness and diseases.
Money can be put to shame when it comes to health matters. Don’t lose your health while you are looking for money.
There are people who are very poor, yet they hardly fall sick. While there are billionaires who fall sick most of the time.
The Dalai Lama said,
“What surprises me most is ‘man’ because he sacrifices his health to make money then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health.”
(3)• Good marriage
Good marriage is not a function of huge money. Having a tussle-free and peaceful marriage require love, prayers and commitment.
Money can only make married couple enjoy their marriage. It cannot guarantee strong and good marriage.
Sadly, you might have heard of celebrities whose marriage hit the rock. Despite the fact that some people are famous and hardworking.
Yet, they have a very poor marriage. This shows that money cannot buy a happy home.
Wealth is not tantamount marriage. You can be wealthy and still have a shaky and weak marriage. Therefore, priotize your family before money.
(4)• Happiness
You are not rich until you have what money cannot buy.
In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt,
“Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.”
It is possible for one to be wealthy and still lack peace of mind. Peace of the mind or joy can never be acquired by money.
Have you wondered why wealthy people have hypertension.
Despite all the money a person may have in the bank, he or she still may not have the happiness that they crave and deserve. Money cannot afford happiness.
(5)• Long Life
No matter how wealthy you are, you cannot possibly buy the number of years you’re going to spend on earth.
There are people who lived long and died in penury. And there are wealthy people whose life was cut short.
I have yet to come across a man who can buy long life.
Therefore, do not be in a hurry to get wealth. Don’t cut your life short because of haste. Money will come if you keep working hard, believe and never give up.
(6)• Loyal Friends
It seems almost everyone wants to benefit from those who are wealthy. They rarely support them. All they want from them is money.
Hence, loyalty cannot be bought with any currency. Loyal friends are too scarce. You can only find few of them to work for you.
Basically, as much as you love money. Be aware that money is not all you need to survive and be happy in life. Because there are so many other things that money cannot buy.
