This book intends to portray an analysis and promote a cognitive awareness on one of the most debated and yet neglected questions and regarding what is more important in life: Money, Love, Spirituality or Happiness? And although most people may assume to know already the answer to this question, the content of this book will likely surprise you in many ways. First of all, because the conclusion isn’t as predictable as it might seem at first, and second, because the these topics are interconnected in more ways than what we like to admit.

Introduction
This book intends to portray an analysis and promote a cognitive awareness on one of the most debated and yet neglected questions and regarding what is more important in life: Money, Love, Spirituality or Happiness? And although most people may assume to know already the answer to this question, the content of this book will likely surprise you in many ways. First of all, because the conclusion isn’t as predictable as it might seem at first, and second, because the these topics are interconnected in more ways than what we like to admit. In this sense, the author presents here a more uplifting perspective on this subject and within a paradigm that allows a more meaningful and pragmatic application in our daly life.
How We Choose Our Priorities
What is more important than money, love, spirituality or happiness? And what is the common thing we want in money, love, spirituality or happiness? The answer to both questions would be freedom. Now, the question is, why do we want to be free? Most commonly, to feel secure, to find love, to find our spiritual self. And why we want all these things? To be happy, basically. Therefore, we can say that happiness and freedom are correlated. The next question now would be: How? And this is why we struggle so much to be happy and spiritual, that’s why we choose different paths to reach the same end goal.
If we look at the need to follow paths, we will eventually realize that they can indeed be followed in many ways, even though the fastest is with the use of money. You buy plane tickets and pay rent with money, not smiles, not love, not religious beliefs, and not inner peace. And if that is not the case, then someone else is paying such things for you, which makes you a parasite of that person, and not a self-sufficient individual. In other words, such individuals are dependent and not independent. And if you’re dependent, you’re not free. And so, here we find one of many correlations regarding money and freedom. Money can buy people’s freedom and can buy your own freedom too. And yet, what can be more important than money? Long term security, maybe, because you can be rich today and poor tomorrow. Businesses and entrepreneurs bankrupt all the time. But, how can you build security without money? You actually can’t. The two are related to one another, even though they can mean the difference between focusing on a present amount and a future amount. Someone working for a retirement is looking at security rather than money. But what about an entrepreneur that doesn’t care about his retirement? Is he putting more value on money? Actually, he’s not. He is also looking at his retirement, but merely from another viewpoint.
You see, while a person working on a regular job is focusing on the security provided by the government, the entrepreneur is trusting on himself to create that security. In general, no strategy is a guarantee for success, but we can focus on what we do best to build our security. And that’s why some people choose a job and others a business. Each one of them thinks of himself as less competent when in the other type of role. And there isn’t time for everything, to try all options, no time to fail, and so, at the end of the day, we do have to make decisions that also make us feel secure or reinforce such security.
At this point, we reach a mental trap that few can recognize. We need security in life more than anything else, but we build that security based on decisions that make us feel secure. And yes, sometimes we want to make different decisions, but they make us feel insecure. It’s as simple as that. Our decisions determine our fortune and outcomes in life.
These decisions are rooted in beliefs. And our beliefs shape our entire destiny, they make us predictable and justify our present reality. Whatever someone says about life or any of its components, such as love, money and happiness, reflects a set of deeper rooted beliefs, sometimes even deeper than the ones the person can see. They may actually be beliefs planted by someone else that this person loves or loved, rather than her own.
How Our Strengths Make Us Weak
I want to do a million things with my life and I can’t. On the other hand, it makes me super angry to see how slow and stupid most people are, and this because, basically, I want a lot, and a lot more than anyone else. My frustration doesn’t make me inferior, or less valuable in my words as a speaker and writer; on the contrary, it’s a reflection of my awareness. One can’t see and not see at the same time. If I see myself, I see others too as a reflection of me; a reflection that sometimes shows [...]
