17514 - Why you will NEVER keep up with the Joneses

17514 - Why you will NEVER keep up with the Joneses

Days Left On Earth: 17514

You can't keep up with the Joneses because you will notice more Joneses living on a better street with better stuff as soon as you catch them.


So it would help if you worked longer and harder to keep up with a moving target.


You'll permanently adapt to the bigger house, better car. But you will never get the first school assembly, nativity play or netball match, sunrise or adventure back.


All the cars in the world can't mend a broken relationship that runs fallow because you're too busy trying to earn money to pay for everything to be happy.


What is important to you?

What brings your joy?


Equally, I love those who strive to achieve. I am one of them. The secret is to ground yourself in the essential things and use this as your non-negotiable foundation of success.


Family first, health, gratitude for what you have rather than chasing a material moving target.


You can wave the Joneses goodbye from this place of power because you are taking life to a place where they're not. Your foundation is not external; it's internal.


Andy


PS I have noticed that external economic success often follows from this internal foundation of success!
