Why are you not Rich & Famous?

"Why are you not rich & famous?"

Whenever I browse social media, I get same kind of motivational quotes.

- Be next trillionaire,
- Get successful,
- Show everyone that you did it.

Importantly, background images & videos contains a Lamborghini, BMW, and rich lifestyle.

Like they are telling me, "Either be rich & famous or be unhappy."

## Do We Really Need to Be Rich to Be Happy?

If this also happens with you then let me ask you one simple question.

To be happy do we really need to be a billionaire or famous?

Understand the reality; to be famous & wealthy you must need to give time, hard work & most important thing **luck**.

As I said earlier, there are thousands of things that you cannot control.

But I'm not here to demotivate you.

I only want to share a new perspective toward life. It's not a race where you're competing with others. You only need to compete with yourself because everyone has different starting points.

## Manage Your Attention

And this social media shits. If you ask an old person that what you want to do with life, their answer will probably to be enjoy life.

But when I asked this thing to some peoples in my network, they replied to be next Elon Musk.

That's why you must need to manage your attention otherwise platforms will.

Believe me or not, social media has made materialistic ideas of success seem normal.

But we need to differentiate it with real life.

## Conclusion

Life is too short to argue about this. I'm not saying money is not important. But it's a part of life, not life itself.

You don't need to prove yourself that you did it, or you become next richest person alive, to anyone.

If you're happy & satisfied that's all you need.
