Feelings Do Not Understand From Checkbooks
Imma Puig, a graduate in clinical psychology and professor in the human resources department of IESE, has handled the egos, envy, and jealousy of Fútbol Club Barcelona players for 15 years. A statement from her draws our attention: feelings do not understand checkbooks.
Inma Puig is dedicated to taking care of people on the inside. Media between the Iniesta, the Messi and the Suárez. In this time, surrounded by people who earn in a year what the rest of us mortals will not get to earn in a lifetime, she has understood that the current account does not influence the management of emotions.
In order to see the amount of things that happen in personal relationships, you have to understand people. And for that, like climbing a mountain, there are two paths: one long and easy, and the other short and difficult. Jealousy, envy, anger, sadness do not understand checkbooks, understand personal relationships, understand emotional control and learning.
It cannot be that we are always happy, without health problems and with money
We live in a society in which perhaps there are too many people for whom everything is always “great”. We want to convey an image that escapes all emotional logic, since these vicissitudes (money, beauty, health and love) rarely happen all at once. A false happiness is the worst sadness.
Many people come for consultation because, although everything is going well for them, they feel sad: they point to a void of which they are not able to locate a source. Many of them are also unaware that sadness is part of life and has survived centuries of evolution because it fulfills its function. On the contrary, there are also people who do not have a perfect life or a large checking account and are still far from feeling that sense of unidentified need.
In this sense, no one, no matter how much money they have, can always be happy and without problems. Many times, it is even the other way around, the more money you have, the more problems arise. In this sense, perhaps true success consists in achieving what is desired and happiness in desiring what is achieved.
Feelings do not depend on the checking account
Make no mistake, having a good checking account helps. But, the human being, if he has taken care of the basic needs, prefers to feel loved than paid.
There are people who are on the crest of the wave, who are “the best” for many, who are successful, but who share various painful circumstances with those who are not doing so well, such as the loss of a loved one . These people are also sad, lonely, discouraged, or even depressed.
Feelings do not understand checkbooks, and for this we only have to observe people who have large fortunes to see that money does not prevent the appearance of psychological and / or affective problems. In fact, the number of famous people who end up suffering great discomfort, despite their wealth, is very high.
The idea that fame and money go together with happiness is challenged by a review of the number of wealthy celebrities who have suffered from depression or other mood disorders. In this sense, having a checking account that many of us would dream of, as emotions, does not ensure a good emotional balance. On many occasions, you can even assume the opposite: a much more pronounced emotional instability. As we see, feelings do not understand checkbooks.
