It seems like in today's world all we do is focus on money. Many people's lives revolve around it. Making sure they have enough to pay rent, pay all the bills, get groceries which is all good and well. But it becomes a problem when it starts to completely run your life because you allow it too. We have many things in life that money can't buy for us. And here are just a few:
1. Character
Or you could label it as 'personality.' It's who you are as a person, maybe why someone likes you or doesn't like you. Like having a great sense of humor or maybe being a little too dry. Your character defines who you are when other people talk to you.
2. Manners
We all grew up learning basic manners like to say excuse me when you burp, hold the door for people, etc. But as most of us know when we go out into public not everyone likes to use their manners all the time especially when they don't know you personally. There is road rage for not sharing the road, words spewed at people that cut you off in the store.
3. Respect
Just as said with manners not a lot of people like to give respect when they don't personally know someone. But in every relationship, friendship, and family people look for respect and that's how everything is held together. Imagine life without respect..... the world would be a very hostile, lonely place.
4. Patience
Life has a funny way of throwing things at us when we are least expecting it and we're all waiting for the good to come. But like most things it takes a lot of patience. We all want to run into everything good in life but a lot of things are good because of the timing. The worth is worth it.
5. Trust
Everyone wants to trust the people they interact with especially in a relationship/ friendship. They are built on trust.
6. Integrity
Many people get the definition of integrity a little messed up. Integrity is being honest and having strong morals. We have to have integrity for many things in life.
7. Common Sense
Not everyone has it.. or we like to say that some people don't have it. It's there.. down deep.
8. Love
Last but not least, my favorite expression of all time; money can't buy love. Yes, we like to give presents to the people we love on birthdays, Christmas, Valentines, and all other holiday's but that's not what makes us love a person. Love is caring for someone with your whole heart because of who they are not because of the money in their pocket.
