]]>The old adage claims that money is the root of all evil. In a less dramatic sense, this adage can point to something about who we are as a people. We tend to put a lot of pressure on ourselves, but especially because society has allowed money to define who we are.
This is, of course, dependent on the country, area, or community that you live in, but the pressure of showing that you’re financially successful (and more traditionally, especially for men), is a real thing. Unfortunately, this can lead someone down a very unhappy path—whether the person becomes successful or not.
Let’s make one thing clear. Having a job is definitely important, but it’s not everything. What good is a large paycheck to improve your quality of life if, ironically, your quality of life suffers as a result? Keep things in balance by having career goals but also seeking a mentally fulfilling life.
