Life Advice: Looking Through a Window
Discovering Life's True Secret
In our fast-paced modern world, filled with smartphones, laptops, and high-tech gadgets, life often feels both hectic and impersonal. We chase money, only to find ourselves striving for more, never fully satisfied. How often do we tell ourselves that just a little more money would make everything better? Yet, even after a raise, we find it's not enough.
Finding Clarity
I've read countless life advice books, like Robin Sharma's works, which often suggest that money isn't necessary. However, let's be realistic?"money is essential. Can any of us truly function without it?
Seeking guidance, I visited a local Rabbi. He led me to a window and asked what I saw.
“I see people going about their day, and a blind man begging on the corner,” I replied.
Then he took me to a mirror. “Now what do you see?”
“I see myself,” I answered.
The Rabbi explained, “Both the mirror and the window are made from the same material: glass. But with a thin layer of silver on the mirror, all you see is your reflection.”
He continued, “Without the silver, you noticed others and felt compassion. With it, you see only yourself.”
A Lesson in Perspective
Reflecting on his words, I realized he was right. We do need money, but pursuing a life solely for its accumulation is futile and can cause heartbreak for us and our families. Instead, we should embrace the Rabbi's wisdom: remove the 'silver layer' and see others again.
When we look at life through the lens of self-interest, we focus only on ourselves. By discarding that, we open ourselves to empathy and connection with others.
Conclusion
In life, it's important to view both mirrors and windows. Mirrors show us ourselves; windows open us to the world?"full of compassion, health, and true wealth. Pursue wealth, but let it enhance, not diminish, your life and the connections with those around you.
