“How much money do you possibly need to be happy?” These profound words echoed from my father many years ago, shortly before he entered a gradual decline that eventually led to dementia. In a culture fixated on wealth and success, this question serves as a poignant reminder of the true essence of happiness.
As we traverse the busy lives filled with career pursuits, we often become so engrossed in the quest for success that we neglect the things that genuinely matter: family, friends, and personal fulfillment. My father’s insights continue to resonate with me, reminding me of the importance of reevaluating our priorities in a world constantly pushing us to strive for more.
