It was just a half an hour Journey with my Boss to Initiate this title in my mind, “The need”, he explained about and made me to change the angle of my Mind towards my needs. It was a very usual conversation, but, the impact on that was amazing. “What we need for the Life?” This is the Million dollar question in front of each and every individual, If, we find the very comfortable answer for this question, we can enjoy at least the moments of our life.
As, the journey of finding the very difficult answer to the above asked question, I observed and gathered a very simple answer from my Boss. That is “ Live for needs, Not for Desires”. In life, there are those things we need, and those things we desire. Where we really screw ourselves up is when suddenly the things we desire, in our minds become things we need.
Needs are those things that provide for our daily existence – food, water, shelter. But, Human love and companionship can most certainly be described as a need, for without it we can’t fulfill our needs. Needs are very basic, and should be easy to recognize.
Do you need a corporate job which gives you Hectic Ulcer??
Do you need a Luxurious car which gives you a depressed son?
Do you need more bank balance, which gives you disphoric and stressed days of life?
I don’t think you and me wont accept the cost of this needs in life.
I agree that, “It is Meaningless to try to live without any desires”. Desires fuel our creativity, energize us, gives us fulfillment, and push us to reach our goals. But, Unfortunately in modern life our desires are giving more over diseases physically and mentally. The problem arises when your desires become your needs. If, your needs are equal to your desires, you got the ultimate balance of the happiest life.
When it comes to finding our balance between needs and desire, this is where we may need to find that compromise. Rather than insist on a Flat to live a Luxurious life, go for a comfortable rented one, which do not put a strain on your bank account or your emotional well-being. When we started using this Philosophy in all part of life, we can find the Life at a reasonable cost.
Finally, happiness is just a state of mind characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy and never intervened by Rupees, Dollars and Euros. The journey towards happiest life should earn more contentment, more love, more satisfaction, more pleasure and more joy by using the tool called Money.
The famous quote of “Albert Schweitzer” simplifies life as follows,
"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”
It’s again an half an hour usual journey with my boss, But, the lesson it has given me worth for my Life.
