Happiness Source In This Life

All of the people in this world must be want to be happy in this life.
Yes as a human, we must be pursuiting happiness for ourself.
How can we get that happiness ?
A happy family, a financial freedom, a mutual love, a hobby, or anything else.
So many things that we want in order to feel happy in our life.

From all of those things, most of people think that money is the most important of all.
Because, with having a lot of money, there's a big chance that we can buy or do many things that we want.
It's natural if people think that money is important and can give us a lot happiness.
In fact,I also agree with that opinion.
I always think that being a person who has a lot of money will bring me a happiness.
In fact I realize that currently I often don't feel happy in my life because of my desire to achieve that goal.
My situation currently is still far away from the one that I want.
I always want to be a person who has a financial freedom, but in fact my financial situation is still far from that, or it can be said that it's still "nothing" compare to my dream.
Yes, everyday before I sleep and on my lonely time I'm always thinking about that and it might be erase a smile on myself.
For a lot of time, I'm very sure that money is a happiness source.
I think that by having a lot of money will make this world like a heaven, I can buy many things that I want, I can go holiday to every place that I dream, I can do many things that I like to, and maybe I will get so many appreciation by lot of people and may be can get more friends.

However my perspective about that is changed a little.
I see some cases that related to this topic.
A first example that I saw with my own eyes is a case that related to a job.
For all this time, I thought that the people who has a "not prospectable" job that can not earn lot of money will have a miserable life.
Because I think they will not have a great future with their current job, and also they work only to survive in this world, not to achieve their dream.
However I have a talk with the persons who worked as a courier and a driver.
Those 2 jobs can be said as a "low" job in my country ( I think you and lot of people will have the same opinion on me).
But these two people said that they enjoyed their life.
A courier told me that she enjoyed her usual activity, everyday she's packing package , sending to many address, she said that it's a challenging job.
Everyday she met with so many people and she gave her smile to other humans.
A driver told me that he enjoyed his life too, He liked driving a car, so this kind of job is really suit for him, everyday he met with so many kinds of people and he got so many stories, experience and different cultures to know, also he had a challenge to go to the place that he has not known before, He became more know about routes of way, and can see lot of new places.

What I got from all those 2 stories ?`
Actually my goal is still the same, I still want to have a lot of money, and in fact it doesn't make my standard become lower.
However what I can get from all those stories is this :
"Happiness is relative".
Yes for such a long time I think that happiness is like an absolute thing.
I believe that the people who don't have lot of money and get the job which the income only enough to survive in this world will have a difficulty to feel happy in this life.
However it maybe not as like as I thought.
The people who have worse situation than us somehow can be happier than us.
If I think from more cases, it's really true.
A person who has a car maybe less happier than a person who only has a bycycle, because a person who has a car always want a more luxurious car than (his/her) currently car while the other person is really like to riding bycycle and enjoying the nature.
A student who got 90 in the test can be less happier than a student who got 75 in the test, because the first student always want to get the 100 score in every test, while the other one is satisfied because they have given their best and can pass the exam.
A child who can entered a superior school can be not happier than a kid who can not get to school, because a kid who entered a superior scholl can not get many friends due the competition in that school while the second one can get so many friends with many kids that has a same situation with him.
Some people who can meet with their lover once a week are not very happy because they want to see with their lover everyday, while there are some people that can be happy by having a little chat with the person they love.

So what is my biggest point in this ?
Is money still important ? In fact money is very very important in this life, because we need it for our living.
Money is everything ? Well, I can say that money is 99% of everything ?
Money can buy happiness ? Money can help us a lot to get the happiness.
But at the end, the first happiness source is ourself.
We really have to fight and give our best to get our goal of this life.
Live Happily Ever After

Regards
