One wrote, when we step outside the comfort zone, we get to hear many such people and such stories. Another user wrote, “I have seen that when a person is positive and happy, he earns more and lives life freely. Whereas if someone constantly runs after money, he becomes stressed and falls prey to bad habits and addiction. This neither improves their economic nor mental condition.
