You have the choice to take, one of two different paths.

The first, leading to happiness but you would struggle with money, work, etc, making life in general quite tough. The second path will give you wealth, and prestige, but you'd always lack true happiness.
Which path would you choose and why? What is more important to you, happiness or money?

Well I think both are important, but the first and foremost thing is 'health' If you got your good health, then even if happiness is not immediately present, you got time to work on it.

Then of course money is needed to 'oil' the wheels of happiness, but not essential.

So Health, should lead to happiness. The money, well all I want is enough to eat and live. Excess is useless.

Happiness of course. You can't take money with you in the grave and you benefit more from living happy than rich. Unfortunately, you can't always unlink both of them.

The best craftsmen and -women of life can combine both.

I want happiness. I want to wake up every day and know that no matter how bad the day gets, I will eventually leave there to someone who loves me. Then the rest is fodder.

Happiness, obviously.

Everything else, like health or money, is just a potential influence on how happy you are. The end goal is being happy, so if you are happy, having any one of those other factors is not, in itself, important.

In other words, the only reason to want to be healthier or richer is in order to be happier. If you are already as happy as possible or believe that money and health don't affect your happiness, then being healthier or richer is redundant.

This is a "relative" topic. You may have both, you may have none. You might have them both at the same time.

Which ever way it happens you still get to wake up and do your thing. In my case it's just waking up ... it's all down hill from there!

Getting old is FUN!
