Love, health and money - are they really the 3 mantras of happiness?

hmmm i would agree with health and love, but not money. you can be happy without money. unless you are a materialistic person. someone who doesn't have proper communication skills, the inability to interact with other human beings. objects are your friends. But its really more of a satisfaction for your addiction kind of thing, then true happiness.

These are the 3 mantras of happiness, and you have rightly said that a complete life requires all 3. I would extend this a little more to think that the happiness that we feel, also depends on the well being of our loved ones in relation to the 3 mantras. What i mean is, a life with the love of a family indeed gives us the happiness, but if the health, wealth or general well being of the loved is affected, it affects thier happiness, which in turn affects ours.

Hi Mimpi, I feel that contentment needs equal importance and this can be the 4th addition because without contentment you would always feel the need for more and this will interrupt with your peace of mind thereby marring happiness.

I think good health, both physical and mental is the most important thing to strive for, because our state of health influences our self-love and we have to love ourselves first before we can love or be loved by others. Money follows. If the money comes first, then it is rather useless.

For me yes, coz love alone cant make us survive. We wont be healthy if we dont have money to buy some nutritious foods, vitamins and stuff but of course how can we be happy if were not healthy and no one loves us, in short money cant buy happiness, love and health. So that things are very important and should go hand in hand.

je suis assez d'accord avec toi,tu raisonne bien =)

Hi Mimpi I always say that money is not everything but Love is I think if you have Love, true Love, you can overcome the rest Yes it is good to have all 3 but I still believe if you have Love you have everything

I agree with you. Without love, what is the point?

Hello mimpi, I must agree this three things are very important in our life, love health and money. These are very essential. But I think to top this all is CONTENTMENT. We should be contented with what we have in order for us to be happy. A rich man who can have love and in good health can still be unhappy because he is not contented with what he has and thus do everything to get what he wants even if they hurt other people. But a poor man, who have good health and have love in life can still be happier than the rich man, because he is contented that he is healthy, and he is together with his loved ones, and they can still live each day though they are struggling. Whatever we have is a blessings and is something to be thankful for, if we are contented with the things and people around us we can be very happy. Take care and have fun posting -- red_amethyst

I agree with the words of your boss. three of them would make us happy. one among these three is missing, will make happiness less. but what really matters is money. because we have money, it may be easier for us to have health and love.

As far as I am concerned, I think I agree with you so much that it will be so happy to with all the love ,health and money together. As wwe alll know that it is the health that makes us stand and do the things that we want. So health must be the first. Then we should have some love. We ned love someone,in return, we still should someone come to love ourselves. Last , with enough money in our hand, I think we will enjoy our life more better.So I agree so much about you question here.

I don't think money counts, though it is needed to stay healthy by allowing you to see a doctor, or have food to eat. But, love and health deffently. Because those two things are importnant because without those things number three wouldn't matter because you might not be alive to need it.

hi, mim..... i agree with your boss too. But i;d like to say, money , mind and muscle. if you have money you can have better health and make life comfortable. If you have mind you can earn money. If you have muscle, you can work hard. -vine.

on my last birthday when i was asked to name 3 wishes i said "happiness, health and wealth for me, my family and friends" with applauses from everyone. looking back now i've not really gone far from what i last wished for. on my next birthday i would still wish for "happiness, health and wealth for me, my family and friends" and that would include all my friends here in myLot and elsewhere.

HI Mimpi! I know that am late in responding and you have already marked the best response, yet I am attempting. Your boss appears to be a practical and wise person and what he says makes me agree with him. I think everything is essential, be it money, health or love. We cannot make do without either of these three. If one gets plenty of love and s/he is not keeping healthy, s/he would not enjoy being loved. If one has money and health but no one loves him/her, then also life will be miserable. I think all the three things are essential like air and water in our lives.

mimpi1911 oh yes love is needed and health is best too, and just enough to live on is best really, we do not need to be millionaires to be happy. sometimes we must learn to live with something like diabetes and still lead a happy productive life with a little'help from family friends and your medical people

I think it's very important for you to know what you are really here for, who you are really here for and for whom you do all the things you do. For me, I would say it's love and that would mean my family (or whoever you consider a family in your life whether by blood or not). Since the core of all that I do, I need to ensure that I'm supporting them all the way. For me to be capable of it, I should always keep myself in good health and so they are and in order for us to cope with all the daily expenses to sustain our living, a career should be a good help. It's best to understand the hierarchy of your priorities because sometimes, getting too hooked up on your secondary priorities make you forget the most important people/things to you.

Hey mimpi! It is so great to have you back again! I think that it is great if you can have all "three" at once, but not everyone can! For me the most important thing to have is good health because if you don't have that it doesn't matter if you have love or money! That is the way I look at it! It is nice to have love and money, but they can't buy good health!

I agree with your boss Mimpi.....Infact if the three criteria go hand in hand and compliment each other ,then your life will be real heaven on earth...But striking a balance when you reach out for your priorities,and maintaining a balance so that the pursuit of each will not lead to sacrifice of other goals is absolutely essential ,if you want to have it all and enjoy it too....

Possession of Love,health and money might be the quintessential source of happiness. However, it also depends on individual's contentment about the extent of happiness. I agree with your point of view that a complete life requires all of the three mantras which provide us satisfaction from our heart within both in the field of substance and psyche. God bless all. Happy mylotting!
