It’s a Brand New Day

13 Oct

“Fame or integrity: which is more important?

Money or happiness: which is more valuable?

Success or failure: which is more destructive?

If you look to others for fulfillment,

you will never truly be fulfilled.

If your happiness depends on money,

you will never be happy with yourself.

Be content with what you have;

rejoice in the way things are.

When you realize that nothing is lacking,

the whole world belongs to you!”

Lao Tzu, 604 BC – 531 BC

Chinese Philosopher, Author of ‘Tao Te Ching’

    Words to live by. I am peeking through my fog and realizing that money is not the key to happiness. I will be much happier poor but out of my work hellhole!
