MJ DeMarco Quotes

“Many people mistakenly say: If only I had more money, I’d be happy. Money can certainly make life easier, more comfortable, more secure. It can open more doors, take you places you’ve never been, and allow you to meet people you’d otherwise never have met. But the bad news is that it cannot buy you happiness.

Many unfortunate people have fallen into this trap and don’t realize it until it’s too late. They reach their goal of having a very big house, but cannot call it a home — it’s an empty place with no warmth and no one to share it with. They have a big boat but no real friends to sail it with them.

This is the ultimate punishment — a realization too late that they’ve wasted their lives pursuing the wrong thing.”
