Wisdom Series Day 26 : Money Does Not Bring Happiness - a podcast by Thembi Bheka- Award Winning Investor, Mentor and Business Coach

"Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body." - George Carlin

Hello and welcome to Day 26 of our wisdom series. Today's topic has been a debate point for several years. Does money buy happiness? If so, how much money do you need to be happy? And what is happiness anyway?

As you know, I did not grow up in a wealthy family. I had to work to get to where I am today. When I achieved financial freedom I quit my nursing job, moved to Kelowna, my life changed and everything was great but something was missing. What was missing you ask? Happiness, I felt a huge gap in my life and I was not happy at all.

This was a vital lesson for me because even though I had achieved financial freedom, I had not attained happiness. I remember a quote Robert Nesta Marley (Bob Marley) which reads, 'Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end'. Happiness is a choice, not a result. In my 41 years of existence, I have come to realize that nothing will make me happy until I choose to be happy. What has brought me tremendous joy is helping to empower women in Africa. I have realized that true happiness comes from the effort of making others happy. I hope you find your happiness whether you have a fifty or a million dollars in your bank account.

Seek true happiness, Stay Motivated, Stay Wise and see you tomorrow for more wisdom from my 41years of life.
