In some industries I worked in, putting happiness over money is a sign of weakness. In fact, that idea was so obsolete, people would mock you if you talked about personal development in a spiritual way. I've always tried to find the purpose in what I did. Sometimes it lead me to lonely places, other times it lead me to enjoyable ones.
King Midas story is timeless. The king who made the wish to turn everything into gold suddenly had his wish granted. He woke up the next day and as soon as he touched the table, it turned into gold. After jumping with excitement, he touched every furniture in his castle and they turned to gold. He became hungry so he ordered a plate to eat. As he touched his food, it turned to gold also. Scared to receive the same fate, his servants left the castle. Lonely, he called his daughter for comfort. As he hugged her, she too turned to gold. The king starved almost to death until he called the Gods to take his curse away.
What's the point? I don't want to have to chose happiness over money or vice-versa. Both blend perfectly together in my opinion.
With Purpose, Passion, and Love,
Frédéric Byé
