It has been a long axiom that money cannot buy us happiness and at one point in time, maybe we all experienced such scenarios. We also even experienced moments where we question that stand and reflect over our own lives.
Investing money and satisfying our desire to grow and be secure is what pushes people to do things. As much as it seems light and fun, bringing such an amount of money also brings much responsibility. Let us take a look at phases where we can combine money and happiness, in a good way.
The Starting Point

A very important question everyone should know and answer is the question, "Why do I want to invest?" From there, your passion, dedication, plans, goals, practicality, and skills will naturally follow. More often than we think, the answer to the question of why is such a powerful one. Because in there lies the essence and purpose of existence and why we do things we do, from the small achievements to the big news.
The Autumn Leaves
For new things to grow, old things must be gone too. In investments and designing, we have to accept that nothing stays the same. The field is fast-paced, and things can change instantly without our permission. Some days, it would feel like the autumn leaves falling, but like seasons, there will always be something new that will ignite your finances and attitude towards it.

Hard-work Makes The Dream Work
There is no blessing without the hustle, as many people have believed when it comes to how they balance everything. They have said that working hard in investments means you are sowing for something that will not grow. Will we still care much? The most important thing is that you are trying and able to see outcomes despite the resistance.
The Sowing and Blooming Season
After going through all the phases, such as the breakings from within and pressures from outside, there comes time for harvest. The sowing and growing process may take time, but it will always eventually come to fruition. Here is an assurance that the blooming and harvest will surely come in time.

They say money cannot guarantee us happiness, but as we realize things, we realize it is not the money per se that is insignificant. It is your attitude towards money and how you use them that matters. Like we said in the beginning, having a certain amount of money may feel joyful, but it comes with responsibility. Investing in things and learning ways on how to handle finances wisely is always worth it.
