Happiness comes from being connected to others through family, community and work. Being happy is about finding meaning in the things that we do and to be love what we have, and to have what we love.<br /><br />The challenge is that many think being happy is when we hit $x,xxx,xxx net worth or earned $x,xxx,xxx. I used to think that way but not so now. Happiness is about connectedness and meaning. :-)<br /><br />Be well and prosper.PanzerGrenadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836438378215893219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-40985641729339061102012-10-30T21:48:18.927+08:002012-10-30T21:48:18.927+08:00Hey dimplegirl!

I am guilty of it myself. On an intellectual level, I know I am wrong. But still, actions show otherwise. For example, I pander more to my boss than to my wife. Does it make sense? I will change boss several times in my life. Most probably hopefully, I will have the same wife for the rest of my life. Not logical to treat boss better than wife. <br />hyomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175340583474513718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-71315872204572158372012-10-25T00:04:07.319+08:002012-10-25T00:04:07.319+08:00Thanks LP!Thanks LP!Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-20918838756471142062012-10-24T23:53:16.446+08:002012-10-24T23:53:16.446+08:00Hi SMOL,

Then transferred to bus no. 2 all the way to Changi village - end to end. <br /><br />After lunch, spent an hour at the park near the jetty; basking in the noon day sun while the salted wind massages my speckled face.<br /><br />In the past, I would have complained on the LONG journey. Would have been ANGRY that having come all this way, the hawker centre is closed for renovation!? Would have WHINED it's too hot a day...<br /><br />Funny how a little perspective changes everything.<br /><br />Time is on my side. I am active and healthy. <br /><br />Lunch and transport together $10 plus. I never felt richer.<br /><br />I smelled the flowers today. <br /><br />Keep adventuring rainbow girl!Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-86158135902056875272012-10-24T21:10:34.631+08:002012-10-24T21:10:34.631+08:00Trying asking people to give up their cars and tak...Trying asking people to give up their cars and take MRT.<br /><br />They will tell you that MRT is so pack and smelly.CreateWealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/04870750974362417154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-85516022519371033582012-10-24T17:55:59.618+08:002012-10-24T17:55:59.618+08:00Thanks for sharing Dr Teo's story.

The more we have, the more we want. <br /><br />It is a constant balancing act, in trying to achieve that financial freedom, and not being sidetracked by accumulating wealth for the sake of accumulating wealth. Perhaps instead of me day dreaming striking lottery, the question should be what would I do with the lottery winnings - the answer would probably help frame the objective. <br /><br />Re SMOL's comment at October 23, 2012 4:11 PM, it's so true. It's easier to get used to a better life than a harder one. Psychologically it is so hard to accept a "poorer" life even if physically it is still liveable. <br /><br />plumerainbownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-67280109816952032382012-10-24T08:14:10.665+08:002012-10-24T08:14:10.665+08:00financialray,
