What are the unwritten rules of a happy life? And now they’re no longer unwritten. 1. A $50 watch and a $5000 watch both can tell you the time. But neither can buy you more time. So focus on living each day and each moment fully. And that buys you time and happiness. 2. A $20,000 car and a $200,000 car can both take you to your destination. But neither can take you to your dream. So focus each day on getting closer to that. And one day you’ll reach it. 3. A $500 TV and a $5000 home entertainment system can both entertain you. But neither can make you happy. So focus each day on being happy. Then you won’t need as much entertainment 4. A $200 outfit and a $2000 outfit can both make you look attractive. But neither can make you a beautiful person. So focus each day on becoming beautiful, not just attractive and you will. 5. A $50 pair of sneakers and a $500 workout outfit can both enable you to exercise. But neither can give you health. So focus each day on building health and enjoy it. 6. A $50 night out or a $500 night out with friends can be fun. But neither will guarantee friendship. So focus each day on being a friend. And you’ll have friends. 7. A $200,000 house and a $2,000,000 house will each provide you a place to live. But neither will guarantee you a happy family. So focus each day on building family. And you’ll have it no matter where you live. 8. A $500 wedding ring and a $50,000 wedding ring both signify you’re married. But neither will guarantee you, love. So focus each day on building love. And you’ll have a happy marriage. Having lots of money may mean you’re wealthy but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re rich. So focus each day instead of on becoming truly rich. And you’ll discover happiness as well. You can have a happy life as you focus on what really brings it instead of trying to buy it.
