Resources for a good life

You need to set priorities in your life. Then you need to find the resources required to achieve them in a timeframe. Such resources are money, knowledge, power, connections, goodwill, popularity, spirituality, peace of mind, health, family, technology, etc. As its evident, money is just one of the many resources you need. It is simple common-sense, no rocket science. However most people soon after their college start considering money as the sole resource required to achieve their life-goals, even as far as to believe all other resources to be buyable by money. That’s where they complicate life beyond reason. Paucity of money early on in one’s career or addiction to abundant family money often drives people into such mistaken mentality.

Well, I believe that all resources of a person should be proportionately increased. So I’m not against limitless rise of one’s money so long as there is a proportionate rise in all other resources such as knowledge, health, etc. Disproportionate increase of resources is absolutely unsustainable : the weakest resource becoming your Achilles heel.

For example what good is a trillion bucks to a terminally ill patient?

Remember, the art of life is not to attain a PhD in one resource but ‘pass marks’ in all resources. The moment you master this balance, life will become a beautiful and exciting journey.
