"Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 19 Week 3 - 'Money or Peace?'"
I'm excited to participate in the Hindwhale community's "Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 19 Week 3 - 'Money or Peace?'" This contest invites us to reflect on the balance between financial pursuits and inner peace.So let's start.
Are we all sacrificing peace to make money?
Yes, this seems to be the case. Whether I look at myself or those around me, everyone is in a race to earn more money, striving to get ahead. Society has placed immense importance on wealth, equating it with respect and influence. People believe that financial success will earn them respect and acceptance, driving them to work tirelessly.
Even when sick, people continue to work to earn money and meet their needs. We've been taught that financial independence will bring peace, but in reality, it often leads to new challenges. Young people, in particular, sacrifice the joys of youth in their quest for wealth, sometimes at the cost of their health.
Parents often pressure their children to achieve financial success quickly, which can lead to stress and even tragic outcomes. They are constantly reminded to succeed and earn money, leading to burnout and mental health struggles.
Which is wiser, to spend and earn or to spend after earning and saving?
It’s best to balance both spending and saving. You should spend money on things that bring you happiness, but also save some for future needs. Life is unpredictable, so it’s important to keep some savings for emergencies.
Instead of saving every penny, you should enjoy spending on things you like, such as nice clothes or travel. These things can make you happy and improve your quality of life. However, it’s also wise to save a portion of your earnings for future security.
I personally save a bit and spend the rest on things that bring me joy and benefit my family. It’s important to enjoy life while also being prepared for unexpected situations.
Apart from money, what brings you peace and happiness?
I find true peace and happiness not just from money, but from spending it on my family and seeing them happy. When I use my earnings from Steemit to buy things for them, their appreciation and pride make me feel deeply fulfilled.
Another source of peace for me is my regular prayers. Performing five daily prayers gives me a sense of tranquility and satisfaction, knowing that I am pleasing Allah. I also feel content knowing that Allah is happy with me when I pray five times a day.
Spending time with friends also brings me joy. Being with them helps me forget my worries and enjoy life despite any stress or difficulties. We support each other and have fun, making even the boring parts of life enjoyable.
Also, I find happiness in family activities, like watching movies together at home. Cooking for my family and seeing them appreciate my efforts also brings me peace. These moments make me grateful for all the blessings I have received.
That's it from today's blog I hope you will like it. With best wishes ❤️. Now I like to invite @norat, @yenny47 and @abdul-rakib to participate in this amazing contest.
Thanks alot for reading ❤️🤗 .
My introduction post
I also had similar case when I focus more on money than my health. Though I was really in need of money by then. At the earn of the day, I couldn't achieve half of what I needed. I also see the need to balance up finances and peace i.e what will give us happiness and satisfaction.
Hello @mbetobongluke
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's a common challenge to balance finances and well-being great to know you've also recognized the importance of finding that balance for happiness and satisfaction. Wishing you success in achieving both🤗💞💐
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
Hello, how are you? I have read your post. You have said the best that even when people are sick, they still want to earn money. You said that you pray five times a day. Which gives you peace. I think our belief in this regard is very strong. Which gives us peace, otherwise there are many people who are living a peaceful life without praying. Only our faith in Allah is very perfect, which is the reason for our peace
Hello @aliabid01 thank you for reading my post and sharing your thoughts. I completely agree that our faith plays a crucial role in finding peace. While everyone has their own sources of comfort, for us, belief in Allah provides a profound sense of tranquilityb wonderful to connect with others who share similar values. Wish you success 💖🤗🌸💐🌺.
Greetings
My dear friend you are absolutely right current era is really different and I really did not know why people are running4 for money and the race us not in senses they are just wanted to earn and I guess there is no mental peace in lives it made the life really heartouchig and sometimes we sit to think what is going on in lives.
Good luck
Greetings.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree, the pursuit of money can sometimes overshadow the importance of mental peace crucial to find balance and reflect on what truly matters.

Muchas personas piensan que tener muchos dinero, pueden conseguir una vida tranquila. Sin embargo no es así El dinero es necesario pero no atrae ni la felicidad ni mucho menos paz al contrario la persona con mucho dinero vive estresado por conseguir más y para que no se lo roben.
Gracias por la invitación
Hello.
I completely agree with you. While money is necessary, it doesn’t guarantee happiness or peace. True tranquility often comes from simple things and within. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
See we all feel the same but when it comes to money, we prefer money. We all know the mental pieces necessary for our well-being but we prefer money over the mantle piece. And you're not alone. I was also the same until a few months back. My best wishes.
I understand what you mean. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of money, but realizing the importance of mental peace is essential. I'm glad you've found clarity. Thank you for your best wishes.
You're right about this. Mental peace is very important and being close to one's family can bring him that.
Thank you, friend!
