Reflection on Today's Quote
You’ve probably heard the phrase “money can’t buy happiness.” It’s easy to roll your eyes at that, especially when bills are due and your fridge is looking like a minimalist art installation. But Roosevelt wasn’t dismissing money. He was just saying that fulfillment doesn’t come from stacking cash. It comes from building something—anything—that matters to you.
Happiness hides in the doing, not the having.
It’s in those moments when you’re in the zone—writing, painting, problem-solving, starting that podcast no one asked for but you’re passionate about anyway. It’s the pulse you feel when you finish a task you thought would beat you. It’s not about applause or paychecks (though let’s be honest, those help). It’s about that quiet, satisfying yes inside when you’ve pushed through, made something, and left a mark.
That’s the real prize. Not the numbers in your account, but the moments that make you feel alive.
You don’t need to be rich to feel rich in purpose. You just need to chase the kind of work that wakes you up.
