Most of us are looking for better life. Some are chasing for more money. Some are looking for good health. For whatever you are looking for, please make sure whatever you do are matching with what you look for.
Maybe you think I am telling a joke. But please think carefully on what I will be mentioned here before you lough.
A lots of people working so hard to get more money for better quality of life. But what they do maybe making them loosing money. We all know, the price of petrol keeps increasing. We all know, we have to save petrol( if the petrol price is never an issue for you, please treat this as a sample ). But do you have good habit in driving your car which may help you to save petrol? We have a lots of bad habits to waste our petrol. Looking infront of your car, we always may know, we should stop our car at certain distance. Please ask yourselves, how far is the distance you will be releasing your accelerator pedal? We should slow down the car for a longer distance to save petrol. If we like to make emergency brake ( even not in emergency situation ) and like to tell people that we are trying to save more money, then what we hope is not matched with what we do. We are wasting our petrol in making emergency brake.
If we are telling people we are short of money while smoking, then what we hope is not matched with what we do. This is because we are burning our money, by smoking. We are also burning our health. We are wasting our money. If you are short of money, you should not smoke. It is just a simple logic. If you smoke, then don't complain of no money. But people like to ignore this simple logic because they don't have the strong will or power to quit smoking. Smoking is only for those people who have a lots of extra money and who don't mind to look for medical consultation frequently, and not for poor guy who is not afford to stop working for few days. For a lots of poor guy, stop working for few days, means no income for few days. This is a big impact for their family. I keep scratching my head and asking myself. If they are poor, then why they smoke? Is there no other "entertainment" for them? Is smoking helping them to continue their life? Smoking is making their life worst. Is it means that people like bad life? No. According to the words coming from their smelly mouth, they want a better life. Is this a big contradiction? Some father may say they love their kids. But then why they force their kids to breath in the smoke which they( the fathers ) don't want? Is this "love"? Yes, "love" is forcing our own kids to breath in the smoke which spoil kids' lung.
There are a lots of people saying "I want to be rich". But what they do daily won't make them rich. Their habits are making them stays at the same financial condition. I am not talking about complicated issues like financial IQ, which I don't need to. I am just talking about some simple bad habits, like smoking, gambling and some bad styles of spending money. Giving money to somebody is not the solution to help them getting better financial condition. After getting the extra money, their financial condition will still be the same. This is because, their habits are still the same. What you do and what you hope are not matched. They are not even "not matched". They are totally in opposite direction.
Why the unmatching happens? People is selfish ( my habit of smoking is more important than my kids' health ). People does not want to change their current life style ( I don't think I can quit smoking. This is my driving style ). People does not think deeply on what he does everyday. People does not try to find out all the pros and cons of something he does. Is he so busy making him of no time to think about something deeply? This is the issue of what is important and what is not. If you think a thing is important, sure you may find some time to think about it, to review it.
If we need improvement in our life, we need to change something. If you refuse to change, then please don't make any complaint and you have to accept your current financial and health condition. If you really could accept your current life, then you may live happier even your life is full of bad habits. But people seems like always forgetting things. When we are spending money, we remember we "hope" to earn more money. When we are driving a car, we forget about our "hope" and like to make emergency brake. This shows that our "hope" is not strong enough to make us always remembering it. Or we never try to find out all the possible solutions to earn or save more money?
If our problem is just can't remember our "hope", then how are we going to always remembering our "hope"? Don't "hope". Please decide a life goal.
