Money Is Not Everything In Life. So What Values Are Really important?
Many of us work long hours during the day, for the cost of living, the desire to raise a family, and give the children a high quality of life, the desire to invest, to become professional and to advance at work, to earn the respect and sympathy of those around them, to be a businessman, Different - to home, to ourselves and to our loved ones and to live comfortably, are common goals for many.
But what happens when we forget the purpose for which we work?
What happens when work becomes the central motif of our lives - the most important goal?
The Pursuit Of Success - Value Or Obsession Unnecessary?
Working for many hours may cause fatigue, exhaustion and even become an obsession, since a person will always be more diligent, more admired at work, more talented or rich, and if you go into the loop, it does not end. As a result of the situation that becomes routine, you are pushed along with the truly important values - home, spouse, children, hobbies, friends, trips. The years pass, the person disconnects from his emotions, his needs, feels a terrible emptiness and, because he does not know how to cope, continues his work.
His / her spouse, on the other hand, learns how to cope with the distance. They focus on career, family, and friends, develop hobbies and learn to live without a spouse who does not give love and attitude. They are not interested in receiving comfort gifts. They are interested in the connection. In these cases, the situation may lead to divorce.
In addition, the stage comes when the parent realizes that he does not know his children and wants to get close to them, but they, who have become accustomed to being cut off, do not want to open themselves to a person who was not there when they needed him, And only gave them presents to feel good about himself.

Changing Values, Changing Priorities!
It is important to recognize the situation and be aware. If you identify with the scriptures and feel that your life revolves around the work, be brave and change your priorities. This does not mean that you should stop working and you can be sure that the level of satisfaction from your life will only increase.
Money is important, but it is only a means of achieving the important things, values like love, quality time, companies, personal development, investment in connections and quality of life. Do not reduce your life - dare, make a change and share your family so that they know that you are going to undergo a process of change and strengthen you. Changes are not an easy thing but your joy of life will be worth everything.
You may be happier today because you know better to enjoy what you have than you knew before, the gap between what you have and what you want is smaller than before, but surely it is not the object itself that created happiness but the level of compatibility between your reality and your desire Which has improved, it is the only factor that creates and affects the level of happiness of man. People usually find that even after they have achieved what they have they are not happier in the long term. Although, in the immediate future, it has achieved a desire to achieve it, in a slightly more advanced range ... the man's poor behavior makes him want more.
A close and united family is a shield and source of mental and social strength. Capture the family around you by creating a pleasant atmosphere and meaningful family gatherings. The burden of hospitality can be divided among all members of the family, making it easy and convenient to meet. Find opportunities for non-binding and spontaneous visits to your children's and grandchildren's daily routine, even if your routine is crowded. You can strengthen your relationship with your grandchildren by taking an interest in their areas of interest, and you can help them with all your technological needs (computers, smartphones, etc.), as well as enriching them and enriching them. Do not hesitate to seek professional counseling and mediation to improve family relationships.

Very good post and very well written, however the subject of money and its importance is very tricky hear in Steemit. If we want to be honest with ourselves we must confess that money is one of the main reasons to be hear . What do you think?
The main reason I write is that I like it.
STEEMIT connects people from all over the world, a charming thing,
And if on the way, I also get the money it's excellent, but not the main reason.
I appreciate your answer. As for me I am not sure yet what are my real reasons. I love writing in Hebrew for me to write in English or French is a real challenge . That's probably my main reason for being here, and the secondary one is to expose myself to interesting people and contents.
I'm sure you like to write because you do it in a good way.
And I agree with you about the exposure, it opens with you to see different directions that people see and think.
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
I heard english is one of THE hardest languages to learn - and hebrew is a beautiful language ; so you should feel proud in the fact that you have done very well in english, quite a number of people still have trouble - while calling it broken english it is still a second language and a very hard language to learn at that .
I think the language in itself needs quite a bit of work ; like with a lot of the slang kids use for different words these days irritates the crap out of me to no end .
and the exposure for a platform that is still evolving can be a fantastic way to connect with people, especially when it can be sharing content that both have a passion for and enjoy .
i may bring up questions about the hebrew language some time later ; you have just made yourself a follower @lindari !
Hello dear friend, I agree with everything you write here,
Thank you very much for your beautiful words
good ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thanks man
In my opinion Money = 75 of happiness
Money is only a means to buy happiness, and 75 It is enough
Thank you for Using #promo-steem tag, Promote steemit by inviting your friends and your family!
So i must say i love this content - i have recently been helping as many people as i can start an online empire ; and help them make money online a few different ways .
Some people have decided to become youtubers and gamers, some people have started up their own affiliate market place on other social media platforms, one is even writing a book and going on tour in the new year and treating it like a vacation doing exactly what you have stated - counseling and mediation - i can even show you her facebook page i helped her create ; and her actual facebook page .

All of which they have been doing in their spare time, probably enough to end up quitting their jobs and spending more time at home with their family ; and if you love your job, is it truly work at that point ?
I think that happiness is personal fulfillment ; as long as you are going for your goals and smashing them to pieces and setting bigger newer goals - and having your family there to see you achieve success is true happiness .
Even just watching a loved one success story is a beautiful act in itself . and i think more people should be willing to help others ; even if they do not know them, making someone else happy is one of the best things you could do for someone else ; and being happy brings success .
You know there are not many people who think like you?
Many people appreciate themselves by how much money they earn.
I'm worth = how much money I earn.
I think money should be a way to "buy" your happiness. Holidays with family, restaurants, pubs ...
I work and make money to live the way I want.
Thank you very much for your response, I appreciate her very much
Resteem IT!
