Sometimes in the pursuit of happiness, we lose the true meaning of happiness.
Finding cool stuff out in the internet is fascinating, like this quote by Steve Jobs. Except, he never said this. It is included here, because the essence of the quote really fits this narrative.
Steve Jobs died a billionaire, with a fortune of $7 billion, at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer. This is the quote:
“In other eyes, my life is the essence of success, but aside from work, I have a little joy. And in the end, wealth is just a fact of life to which I am accustomed.”
“At this moment, lying on the bed, sick and remembering all my life, I realize that all my recognition and wealth that I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death.
“You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you – but you cannot rent someone to carry the disease for you. One can find material things, but there is one thing that cannot be found when it is lost – LIFE.
Random Thoughts

“Treat yourself well, and cherish others. As we get older, we are smarter, and we slowly realize that the watch is worth $30 or $300 – both of which show the same time.
“Whether we carry a purse worth $30 or $300 – the amount of money in the wallets are the same.
“Whether we drive a car worth $150,000, or a car worth $30,000 – the road and distance are the same, we reach the same destination.
“If we drink a bottle of wine worth $300 or one worth $10 – the stroller will be the same.
“If the house we live in is 300 square meters, or 3000 square meters – the loneliness is the same.
“Your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Whether you’re flying first class, or economy class – if the plane crashes, you crash with it.
"So, I hope you understand that when you have friends or someone to talk to – this is true happiness!"
It is nice to enjoy the finer things in life, but if it cost a friendship, a loved one, or a family member, is it really worth it?
The loss of material things can be frustrating, but they are replaceable.
To lose a friendship, a loved one, or a family member, because you stayed too focused on acquiring material things, is a tough one to correct. You may never get them back.
Do not construe this as needing to live a life in poverty. Live life well, but do not lose sight of those that mean the most to you.
Do not become the person that preys upon the people to improve one’s self economically. Especially, not those in your spear of influence or theirs.
Be the person that uses the people in their sphere of influence respectively. Treat those in that sphere of influence well. Enjoy the added benefit of family and friend satisfaction, plus word of mouth praise.
Take care of your friends, loved ones and family members, they are the foundation for life.
My business mentor had us plan our week out in detail. He stressed the point; make time for spouse and children. Take time to take care of those closest to you.
Get to know people in your sphere of influence. You will find gems there that will become part of your master mind group.
A master mind group is a set of people, each having mastered one small part of your business or job. Together, they become an invaluable asset.
In the pursuit of happiness, remember that those around you will bring you true happiness.
At the same time, treat yourself well! Take care of number one, too.
A few passing thoughts.
Eat your food as medicine, otherwise you will need to eat your medicine as food. So much ill health can be attributed to poor diet and lack of good exercise. Read the post “Is the food you eat making you ill?”, it will give you some direction.
“If you want to go fast – go alone! But if you want to go far – go together.” Creating a master mind group for your business or job will take you far. A master mind group is like minded people that have an expertise that help improve your business or job. It could be 2 other people or 6 or more. Whatever it takes.
