Topic: Just a reminder. Don't lose yourself in the process. - page 3. (Read 335 times)

After a long time came across such a post which is close to reality and a great advice for everyone. All your words are very touching, Never in my life have I seen such people who achieve everything by earning wealth, because all desires can never be fulfilled but we are working day and night to fulfill every desire in life. Money is necessary to meet the needs of life, but if your needs are being met well then one should never want more. The things you mentioned are there in all of us, we get so busy in making money that we forget the relatives and friends around us. As the world is developing rapidly, now these things are becoming common. Every person is limited to himself.

In cities, you don't know who is living with you and what they are doing around you. The concept of relationships, neighbors and friends is now seen only in villages, because there is no lust and greed to earn more wealth. In the olden times when people were connected and shared each other's sorrows and joys, and felt for the people around them, there was no desire for wealth. Now wealth has taken the place of all these things, now wealth has become our relative, friend and neighbor.

Everyone doing work to be able to realize what they want is indeed a good thing, but don't forget the people closest to you who have supported them since childhood, because without the help of the people closest to them of course they won't be able to achieve the success they want.
Having a family that supports us in achieving success is a gift from God, because not everyone can have it, there are even some people who have to achieve their own success and overcome all obstacles to achieve that success.

That's a modern life there there. People work really hard to fulfill their dreams to come true, but they often forget about their closest one even their family because of how busy they are chasing the money for their dream things. Work is great but please take care of them, they did everything good for you when we were a kid then we should the same for them. I'm really glad that I have supportive family.

You are correct but the whole culture is pushing people to live their lives this way, why? Because it is better for their pockets and the economy, if a person was happy with a moderate level of success, once they reached it they will have no reason to keep pushing themselves like mad just to improve their living conditions a little bit, and in fact I do not believe there are many people which can do it, since it is in our nature to always want a more.

Where there is high greed, losing yourself in the process is what follows next. So if one cannot be greedy, that will be a lot better so that he can manage and balance his life and not just focused on money and profits, that he tends to forgot the most important thing in life, that is to still be thankful despite of not having too much and enjoy life even with the simple things around.

The best days in life are not actually those when you find riches in life like bitcoin and other assets, but it's actually those you can live with joy and satisfaction even without multi source of assets that will generate profits.

You are right, everything you said was true. It's true that it happens to rich families, so their other children end up on the wrong path because they don't guide them because they are more focused on their work, we can't blame them either because they are also doing that for the future of their children and to their family but no matter how busy you are, still give time to the ones you love. human life is short.

Do you know that some people never consider every family member when they finally make the money that they seek? Because of how much suffering and stress that some of these people went through before getting rich, they like for other people and members in their family to experience such hardship. They will never help because they have the idea that they suffered much before they could get rich and should not just be giving it out.

do not loose yourself while trying to make money also includes not loosing your humanity that you are willing to do anything to make money, and not loosing your kindness due to the process it cost you to make money.

The survival of the human  race from time memorial has not been an easy one, people strive day in day out to foot their bills, because if you don't foot your bills, nobody will do that for you and that is the reality of the Human nature and is surprising that in all the creatures of God is only human being that needs money to survive and in the quest of having that money they work everyday to earn every dime, that is why we always end up apologizing to our loved ones for not having or spending time will them mostly because they have to understand that we have to earn to make a living.

I don't forget the people around me, especially my family. But in the process, when I had big dreams, friends who didn't support me, even made fun of the dreams I had. and the people who are part of my family, they often weaken the processes and abilities that I have, with the statement "Never mind... you were born from a poor family. So it's impossible for you to have bigger and better dreams now "Look for a permanent job, with a clear income every month so that your life is more secure. Rather than continuing to try to build a business that sometimes makes a profit and sometimes makes a loss."

And believe it or not, for example, when you decide to enter the business world, namely selling clothes. My question is, who was the first person to buy these clothes? Are our brothers? No, because they often don't accept that their siblings have to be more advanced than themselves, instead they act in the opposite way by continuing to weaken the process we are going through. And are our friends willing to support the business we are starting? No... often they underestimate the process we go through, the product and when the product we sell hasn't sold, will friends help by buying or promoting it... but a friend actually says, "Never mind, the clothes won't sell, Just give it to me for free."
So in the end, whether you realize it or not, the first person who supports you when you are just starting a business is someone you don't know at all. And it's actually people you don't know who will buy the product you offer, for the first time.

The moment I realized I was nothing, life seemed so easy in every context. I used to work for a corporation with a pretty good income but then decided to quit my job and move to other areas. The countryside and even the mountains and forests are closer to nature. Not sure if everyone feels that life is inherently very simple, we ourselves complicate it, to put ourselves in awkward situations. Are emotions, material things, reputation,... really that valuable? For me, it's about balance, like I feel grateful for everything that's happening and don't intend to try too hard achieve something.


I have felt that from birth, people are pre-programmed with choices and opportunities to achieve their goals. In one way or another, each person is their own. The reason they exist is to fulfill their destiny in life. Yep, money is important but it is not everything because in the end we also use it to satisfy the things that we or others impose on the process of improvement, and money is nothing more than that. a tool to connect and accomplish goals easily.

Never live life that is manipulated by money. You still have to be in full control of your life, which means there are times you need to earn to live a successful life, but there are also times that you need to live and enjoy life even without money involved, that is simply bonding and creating memories with family and loved ones, which I think is also a necessity for a human being.

Live your own life, but never fall on the belief that everything you need is all about money. There are simple joys in life that money can't buy, that is happiness with family and the people who are close to us.

This is definitely a good reminder, because some people can take earning and collecting money to the extreme. Everyone should be aware that we're always getting older, and that you have to find a good balance between spending money now on amazing experiences, is something you may not be able to replicate when you get older and less mobile. There's no point hoarding cash so you can retire at 55 or 60, because you may just fall ill or your body might not be as ready for the long haul holiday experience you had planned. Alternatively, you shouldn't waste money on frivolous things because we are being bombarded in the modern world with advertising from every direction that is looking to drain your bank account on junk.

Moderation is very necessary with anything we are doing. As much as you're striving to make ends meet, ensure you take good care of yourself, your immediate family and those you might be in position to help.

While doing this, note that you are not taking care of anybody just so when you have died they will speak good of you. Help people around you because it is the right thing to do. The mistake some persons make is that they are to focused on making money that they don't even want to create any meaningful relationship while they've made all the money, it mostly dawn on them when they are getting old or are at the age of retirement and they now discover that they've wasted all their life pursuing things that they don't even know who they will leave it for.

The goal is to be moderate at the hustle because at the end of the day, no one is leaving this world with any dim.

Of course we need to focus on our goal to be successful one day. Consistency, patience, perseverance and of course us being smart will do the job well done in the future. We just have to love what we are doing to fulfill that goal on a good side.

It is always the mindset of "we do it for them" that justifies their actions of chasing money to provide their preset needs, the future, and their wants. The thing is people are too busy and focused on their work, business, etc. But sometimes you just need to enjoy life and spend your time with your loved ones, cause not all the time money is the solution, well this world runs with money but there's such a priceless thing to do when you are with your family and making memories, we all just have limited time offer in this world. Plus you cannot do all the things you can do with your family when you are already old, you might be rich but you lack experiences and bonding with your family. You can also balance life with work and bonding, they can help you to lessen your stress by distracting with your fam.

I agree, there is this "meme" on social media that I've read many times about working over time and the ones that will remember it are your children. It's okay to work hard and have some extra and side hustles but it is not the life that you should have be dwelling in. You're working for them as you get to inspired and want to give the best life for them but don't forget what's important is your life outside your work. While the good thing about this generation is about everyone is agreeing about work-life balance and companies that do value it have lucky employees and they don't interfere with their employees life after duty.

The irony is, the very things we chase – security, stability – are often found not in material wealth, but in the warmth of connection. The memories we cherish most are rarely about the size of our bank accounts, but about the shared laughter, the quiet moments of connection, the whispered secrets under starlit skies.

It's not about abandoning ambition, but about finding its rightful place in the tapestry of our lives. It's about recognizing that a true life, a life worth living, is a symphony of elements – career, yes, but also love, laughter, the quiet contemplation of a sunset.

This is the world we live in now. Money is more important than everything else. I wish it wasn’t but this system forces you to be like that. And there is no end to this fucking rat race. I know people who have a few million dollars net worth and they still work like a mad man. They just can’t have enough of it but most importantly they can’t say “enough”. They can’t quit their job/business and enjoy their wealth. They work endlessly till they wear out and when they do, it is all over. All those work for nothing. They spend their last days in a hospital room waiting to die. Sometimes less is more.

when someone chases something and forgets the people closest to them, it means they have lost something valuable in their life. it's true that money is the most important thing now and many people fight to get it, but the people closest to us and those we love are priceless assets that cannot be compared with the money we get.

we might be able to get a lot of money, but when we lose the people closest to us and those we love in the process of getting that money, does that money have any meaning anymore? money is only temporary, and don't focus too much on looking for it so that we lose the opportunity to build good relationships with the people we love.

That is true, if we consider the present time, most of us are leaving some important things of life into the back and running after success and money. One of these is not spending time with family or friends. And these things are slowly turning us from humans to machines, emotions & love are going away from us.
Recently I saw a report that the fear of expense among the Japanese is reducing marriage and having children, indicating that the elderly population in Japan will increase in the next few decades. So I also want to say that both money and success are necessary, but we must not go away from some facts for which we are human.
