What if Money Didn't Matter

Have you ever asked yourself, "what if money didn't matter?"

What would our world be like, and how would our lives change? Would we be more happy as a whole or have nothing to with our time?

The average American spends half of their adult life at their job, but if money didn't matter, would it be this way? How would our society and perceptions of the work place differ if money really didn't matter?

I came across this video today and was very interested in the subject. It showed me the importance of doing what I love, and hopefully getting a well-payed job because of it. I cannot stress how important it is to live every second as it counts, every moment as if it matters. Because it really does.

Now that Jake isn't here to expierience this life, I feel as if it's my duty and obligation to live my life to the fullest not only for him, but also for myself.

Try something you've never thought about doing, laugh until you cry, work hard but also take a deep breath now and then too.

John Lennon once said:

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

This was the senior quote I choose for my 1/4 page in the year book, as well as a saying I try to live by. Whenever I am having a bad day, or am not sure about where my life is headed, I take out a piece of paper I have in my wallet and read this quote.

It's just a looseleaf sheet I hand wrote, but it's a reminder to put every happening in life into perspective.

I encourage you to try it out. Write down your favorite quote, or better yet, google and find an inspirational saying that means something to you. Put it in a place you have a lot of access to-- like your bookbag, wallet or a pocket.

Whenever you have doubts, or seem like you are not doing what you love, ask yourself: "What if money didn't matter?"
