What is MOST Important - Money, Love, Relationships, Or Peace Of Mind?

As human beings, we go through a lot of things in life. Be it physically or mentally or financially or emotionally, one sees different phases of life from these aspects. Every aspect of it has its own side which we all have been aware of. People work hard throughout their lives to achieve different milestones. For some, money is the milestone, for some love is the milestone, for some maintaining relationships & for some just surviving. But did you know there are some people who work hard to achieve something which is common among these all milestones & it’s that valuable? It is none other than a ‘Peaceful Mind’. 

In today’s time, especially after experiencing different phases just wish to have a peaceful mind. For that, people are ready to pay hefty amounts to achieve that peace. Either by taking a vacation or shifting away from a toxic atmosphere, everyone wants to escape from the chaos to have a peaceful mind. In anyways, it is never wrong to take these actions because all you are doing is for your peace of mind. Lately, people have started accepting & acknowledging the importance of a peaceful mind. But it all starts with different emotional, financial & social factors which disturbs it & we all feel to get away from it just for the sake of our peace of mind. 

Some of you might be perplexed by the thought of what is more important - money, love, relationships, or peace of mind?

Let’s see each of the aspects:

Money - We all have heard about - “Health is Wealth”. If there’s a peaceful mind, that is the biggest wealth for an individual because it all starts from there. The journey of being a successful person starts with a peaceful mind. Once the mind finds its peace, the body also responds positively to the actions. But many people focus on making more & more money. For that, they are ready to compromise with a bad boss, toxic work environment & enormous amount of work pressure. No doubt, the initial period seems more thrilling but eventually after earning a good chunk a person ends up paying that amount to find peace of mind. 

There is no limit of needs when it comes to money, for some 1000 is enough while for some 1 Cr is insufficient. It depends on a person & Their lifestyle how they get acquainted with what they earn. A person earning millions & billions or a person earning a meager amount - both would be worried about money which would cause sleep deprivation, disturbed lifestyle & wrong decisions. But a peaceful mind can let a person be alert & well decisive about money.    

Love & Relationship - A peaceful mind is the most essential aspect when it comes to relationships. We have come across people who come out of relationships just because their peace of mind was affected. Not just that, many young people have been moving away from their families just because they experience a toxic atmosphere that disturbs their peace of mind. When a person’s mind is at peace, they can distinguish between good/bad and right/wrong. Some people claim being single is best, some claim being with someone is best. People eventually share their views where they find their peace of mind because no matter if they are alone or with someone, most of them prefer a peaceful mind first. 

You still might feel why a peaceful mind is so important over money, love & relationships. Have you seen ‘Dear Zindagi’ starring Alia Bhatt? This movie shows how a person like her despite being surrounded with talent, money, work, love & relationship found it challenging in managing it all. It’s because she wasn’t able to make peace with the things they were coming around until she came across a counselor who helps her in decluttering things & ways to achieve peace of mind.

But there are some ways you can do self-help to lead and live a peaceful mind:

1. Prioritize your Work, make a schedule & stay organized.
2. Let go of things you can’t control or manage.
3. Exercise, relax & meditate
