So many of us would like to have what so many celebrities do; what I am talking about his the wealth they possess. We believe that with money comes happiness. Happiness, because then affording the things we lust, want and need would be no problem.
Michael Jackson for most of his life was a very wealthy man, however, his fortune and stardom wasn't able to give him one of the most important things one could desire in life - that's happiness. Michael lived a very sad and lonely life to his very end.
Michael is a perfect example of how flawed the concept of many is that if they were wealthy, then they'd live a very happy life. Yes, a wealthy person can live a happy life, just as a poor person can. But happiness is not found in the amount of money one have, but rather within you.
Albert Einstein once said that, “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things."
