How would you define what is to be "rich"? Is it about having enough for living or is there something else that you would be looking to accomplish to be rich?
Is it 1 million USD? Is it 1000 bitcoin? what are your thoughts?
The definition of rich depends on someone you will ask. Simply because we have different perspectives in life and we value things depending on how badly we need them. For some, being rich is being able to acquire all the luxurious things that they want. Usually, the first things that will come up on their minds will be having a mansion, a lot of money, owning a nice car, can afford to travel the world, etc. Well, I can't blame them. These things are what they commonly see on social media, tv shows, and magazines. Hence, a lot of people are dreaming to have one.
However, I consider someone being rich when he/she has successfully achieved his/her goal in life while living contently and genuinely happy. You see, most people have the tendency to focus on the material side. Although I get it, since we need those in order to survive as well as to satisfy ourselves. Always remember that those things will eventually fade away. The things your money can buy can be stolen and even break. Money can be earned. You can always buy another luxury car, bag, or even house if you want because you can afford it. But the contentment and genuine happiness because you have the people around you, loving and supporting you is a whole, new level of satisfaction.
As I grow older, I learned that as soon as people have accomplished and acquired what they want, they keep on wanting more. They keep on craving for something that they tend to worry and starts working their ass off just to get that specific thing. In result, they weren't able to enjoy the moment. They weren't able to savor the present because they are busy wanting more than what they will need in the future.
I always remind myself that I can't buy time, that's why I'm always living the moment. I'm doing my best to achieve my aspirations in life while enjoying the today I'm always looking forward to, yesterday.
