It’s usually the seemingly little things that make the most impact on our sense of satisfaction in life.

Here are 7 of them most people take for granted, which upon reflection, I’ve found to be massively gratifying:

Paying Your Own Bills

Every time you take money out of your pocket to pay your bills, it’s a proof of success and a sign you’re making progress.

It’s an evidence of your ability to manage your finances and sustain your life through your own efforts.

You won’t know what it means to not able to pay your bills until you find yourself there.

A research by Mental Health UK shows that one in six people who experience money problem tend to have suicidal thoughts.

They drink more alcohol, smoke more, feel more stressed, anxious, angry, isolated, and depressed as a result of not being able to meet theirs financial needs.

Being able to pay your bills may seem mundane, but it’s no mean fit if you can do that consistently from your own effort.
