We live in an age where everyone runs endlessly, chasing more, bigger, “better.” But freedom isn’t in accumulation, it’s in knowing when enough is enough. For years i thought money = freedom. It gave security, sure, but chasing it nonstop felt like a golden cage. Epicurus said wealth is wanting little. Psychology today says gratitude is the real path to happiness. Both are right. I stopped chasing numbers and started valuing presence. Small moments, real people, peace of mind. True freedom is living on your own terms, not being a slave to desire. If you’re always running toward tomorrow, you risk losing today. And today is the only place happiness exists.
