Money is important.
It is important because it buys food. Water. Heat. Security.
It buys life.
It secures stability.
And yet, it is only money.
Do not be overattached when you have it.
Do not be lustfully desiring it when you do not.
Do not feel desperate when you need it.
It will come and go. Much like many people.
Strive for financial stability in every day and action but do not allow it reign over your emotions or life.
Search for sound investments which will bring your future self stability in the future.
Be a prudent steward of your finances as much as you are able, trying to be frugal.
But no matter what, remember…
It is just money.
Having it or losing it, you are far more important.
Follow for daily philosophical meditations.
These are distillations from my coming book “YouDaimonia: the Ancient Philosophy of Human Flourishing.”
