Today is #mentalmonday where we talk just a little bit more about the importance of keeping up with your mental health!

Let's talk about happiness!

I've known millionaires and the poorest of the poor, and there's one things I know for sure...

Money doesn't guarantee happiness.

The only thing that can guarantee your happiness is YOU. It's something that comes from within. There are unhappy rich people and happy poor people.

Perspective is key. Carry joy in your heart. Happiness will follow.

@Mrfunkedude Likewise, there's happy rich people and unhappy poor people. It's important to remember that it's not wrong or shameful to find happiness in material things. Like you say, it's not the things (or lack) that make you happy, but the enjoyment of what you have, tangible or ephemeral.

@telorand EXACTLY!

It's a life lesson I was fortunate to learn early on. It really helped me to see people and their struggles in a new way.

Thank you for this wonderful reply. It's perfect.

@Mrfunkedude Choose joy, money won’t always follow but it won’t always matter. 😉 I always feel like choosing kindness is almost integral if you want to truly live a joyful life. It’s hard to be kind to yourself if you’re ugly to others. #MentalMonday
