this was the news headline that caught my attention today.
i clicked on the link and began reading. this particular passage speaks volumes:
Moffitt, 27, made about $1.5 million before taxes in his 2 1/2 seasons in the NFL.
"I've saved enough. It's not like I'm sitting here and I'm a millionaire," he said. "That's what I kind of realized. I'm sitting here and I got to this point and I was like, what is the number that you need? How much do you really need? What do you want in life? And I decided that I don't really need to be a millionaire.
"I just want to be happy. And I find that people that have the least in life are sometimes the happiest. And I don't have the least in life. I have enough in life. And I won't sacrifice my health for that."
i italicized the parts that really stood out to me. notice the words: enough, need, want, happy.
