Stop and Smell the Roses. Make Better Money Decision on the Truly Important Things

We are meant to have goals in our life. Money is not the goal.   It's a means to reach our goal. It requires more patience and more planning when we make use of this resources. What would you like to do other than making money?

1. Spot a dream place to visit

Curiosity is more important than money.  We all want to go to our dreamland. Where is your dreamland? Spot a place that you have fascinated for long to have a visit. It is my curiosity to explore the different between the dreamland on my mind and the reality. I would like to visit Wordsworth House in Cockermouth of Cumberland. You feel amazing to follow the footsteps of Wordsworth to find whether the golden daffodils are growing “beside the lake, beneath the trees "fluttering and dancing in the breeze" and "tossing their heads in sprightly dance“.  I wonder whether the daffodils are really so much beautiful same with Wordsworth had described in his poetry. I really want to take a closer look.

2. Handmade my signature stuff

Homemade D.I.Y stuff is a creature adventure. It is easy, frugal, creative and fulfilling.  It demands from us to focus both physically and mentally on a task. If you’re concentrating on your crafty work, you can’t be worrying about anything. It also gives a great feeling of pride in using your hands to create something unique. There is something wonderful about pointing to your baby’s shoes and saying “I did that".  Every stuff has its own character, it charms, you feel good about your creativity. You make it and your loved one used it.

3. Set up the romantic moment with your partner

Sometimes, I feel tired in a relationship, I talk to myself:

I can do much work as any man,
I know how to cook my food;
I can do my laundry;
I can earn the money to support my kids;
I can drive the car to any place I want to go;
I can even fight and beat a strong person;
I have friends to hang out with...
If so, I don't need a man....

And when I felt loneliness, I wanted to find the companionship. I realized that someone you couldn't find, someone you shouldn’t find, and someone you were not able to find...

Well, yes, you would feel so good to have someone that you want to spend the time in the rest of your life and a heart fill with love. When you feel tired in a relationship, do you remember the day you first start talking with each other?  Travel back in time when you first met him. You knew that exciting, terrifying feeling like butterflies in your stomach. Set up the romantic moment with him, have a candle light dinner, end with a kiss like the first time all over again....

4. Organize a crazy party gathering

Gathering with the school friends bring me back to the days when I was 20 something youth. Friendship beat money.  People around keep talking, telling jokes, someone burst out laughing. It is the magic of the community leads to happy quality time.

5. Be a volunteer

While you give your time to help the local charity, you feel good about yourself not only because you are helping others, it will also help you.  Maybe you can join the program of foster parents by using a couple of hours reading, playing, sitting, and talking with children. Give the children love and attention.

6. Read a book

My world is boring.  I want something new and exciting to feed my brains. Reading a book is a great way to explore something extraordinary out of my realm of understandings.  It gives me a lot of fun, imagination, entertainment, and learning.
