Specific
monetary and material goals can become a fixation for some
people. They strive to achieve monetarily and often can become obsessive
and relentless in this pursuit. Material abundance or financial
success becomes their sole objective and some individuals will stop short of
nothing to achieve what they set out to do.
Financial
security is not wrong or evil as some would want us to believe. We
currently live a material existence, and comfort and enjoyment are all part of
this experience. Unfortunately, for many individuals financial
rewards and positions of power only serve to pad their feelings of superiority
and accomplishment.
For many
there is an excitement of accomplishing these material goals but an unhealthy
relationship with money can lead us to believe that more money provides more happiness,
but far too often the financial rewards of “happiness” are short lived as are
the feelings of security for some. Nothing seems to satisfy the
hunger for more and they are never satisfied for long. This is when
the drive for security becomes an obsession.
We can
have a healthy relationship with money but for those who become obsessed,
material success often comes with a very steep price, (including unsuccessful family
relationships and the ability to truly live for anything other than increasing
the bottom line).
For
those that have climbed the corporate latter, and when the time comes to
retire, do they lose their identity and purpose once they are no longer
connected to their job? Are their efforts soon forgotten by the
corporation? Does it matter?
During the
ascent of the corporate ladder, many have mentioned a period of when nothing
seems to satisfy them and an empty void was experienced that nothing in their
lives seemed to fulfill. This can be a lonely and empty place where
gratification and happiness just cannot be found because they were attached to
an unrealistic source. Perhaps this is when we begin to realize that
material gain just isn’t enough. It is then that many can begin to
look beyond this one focus.
We begin
to realize that happiness cannot be purchased. We realize that
happiness is an attitude. We begin to realize that we can work
towards security but we cannot make this effort the sole purpose of
living.
We
certainly live in a material world and have come into this life to learn from
each of the lessons we experience here. Find security in whatever
form it is representative to you.
Be sure
that your goals include the ability to feed your hunger to experience, to grow,
to love, to be truly happy without attachment.
I believe balance is the well known solution which is often neglected.
