flat screen tv’s – is this our problem?

ok, so I don’t read magazines that much, but I’m reading through my Mums recent issue of “Notebook”. Now, this is the first time that I have read it and I’m only a little bit of the way through. But I just had to stop and write about a small exerpt of a book that they have published. It’s all about our economy and they have entitled the piece “Australia has… a flat-Screen TV crisis”.

The main reasoning behind this is that although many Australians actually earn over $50,000, we still think of ourselves as battlers. Rather than lose a tiny bit more of our income to improve our health services and roads etc, we would rather keep that money and buy flat screen tv’s.

And it wasn’t until my father passed away last May that I realised that no amount of money could really make me truly happy. So instead of striving for riches until there was no more time left to spend it all, I started looking at the things that really matter to me.

And my business has taken a turn as a result of this. Rather than trying to make money all the time, I have now shifted my focus onto really helping people. Helping others to meet their income goals with their business.
And I love it.

So what about you? Has this post made you think any more about what is really important in life?? Share with me.
