As i bring my daughter to her taekwondo test, i reminded myself that i am lucky to have children and spending time with them. This is more important to me then any other things. Spending time with people that matters to me. Since i am approaching 50 soon. My perspective of life has changed. When i was young, i used to think that money is everything as i am constantly bombarded with cars, houses, lifestyle inflation and etc. I thought having these things will represent that you have made it in life. But truth to say as 1 progress along my financial freedom path, i find that even the rich would have problems that money cannot solve. What do i mean by that? Take for instance, health, any amount of money will not be able to gurantee you good health if i do not bother to sleep, eat and exercise. Nowadays i keep watch of what i eat and have at least 6+ hours of sleep to maintain my sharpness and my vitality. As i watched my father and mother getting older and also weaker, i foresee my own future when i get to their age. Habits will form the lifestyle which in turn will show myself where and what i will be in 40-50 years time. That is why i keep on telling myself to exercises, sleep and watch my diet.
The other thing that i treasure most is my bonding and relationship with my family members. I wish to thank my wife after marrying her and get to know her family members, i realized that relationship and bonds with family members are no. 1 rather than money. Money i can always earn and definitely will get to my financial freedom number. However time and relationship i will not be able to gain back. My decisions nowadays focus more on the time and relationship than money.
