Just take  a moment. Keep everything aside.

Hold your breath.

Take out your wallet. (Keep holding your breath)

Start counting all your money. (Keep holding your breath)

See how priceless the money becomes when you fall short of breath.

The Empty Chase, The Rat Race, its all for the currency which  means a lot more than its meant to.

That is the reason why you are willing to cheat and deceit, even yourself, in order to get rich. The biggest threat to a balanced lifestyle is this demonic urge of paper chasing.

How can you have balanced lifestyle when your life scales are always tilted towards hoarding more money to fulfill your limitless obsessions.  People want to afford cheap stuff with expensive price tags not even for themselves, but just to brag. They want to feed their starved ego and satisfy expensive tastes with garbage food in golden bags.

Its impossible to imagine a balanced lifestyle, for the ones absorbed in running the rat race. They are willing to put themselves through whatever it take in order ensure financial supremacy, or display financial security.

But when the hollow balloons of their ego pops, their entitled minds are the first to curse fate and turn to a life of misery, stress and hopelessness.

No matter how much you try to show off these aspects to the world through complicated rituals and flamboyant consumerism, these are things only you can enjoy with yourself.

Invest your energy in living a balanced lifestyle and see life smile back at you. Be more moderate with respect to the usage of your energies, divide them over things that fuel your mind, body and soul rather than exhausting them trying to chase things the society sets for you.
