An undeniable fact:

When you have no money, money is the most important;
When you have money, love is the most important;
When you have both money and love, spiritual freedom is the most important.
Ultimately, what you lack is what matters most.

Have you ever felt that, at different stages, the core password your heart wants keeps changing?
When there's no money in your pocket, you think earning some can solve most of your worries in life; at this time, money is the most important.
As life gradually improves and you no longer worry about food and clothing, looking at the sky turning dark, you feel that having a loving partner who cares for you is better than anything else; at this moment, love is the most important.
And when you truly have both money and love, you start to compete with your own inner self, longing for that kind of spiritual freedom that is not defined or bound.

Think carefully, and it really is that what you lack is what matters most.

Many people often feel anxious because of this constantly changing desire, thinking they are too greedy or ungrateful.
But from another perspective, this is precisely the most wonderful and positive part of life.
It's not bottomless greed, but the life trajectory you leave behind as you climb upward.

When you're short of money, go ahead and earn it generously; there's nothing shameful about that.
It's just you laying the foundation for survival.
Once life is stable, sincerely love and be loved, build connections.
When material and emotional abundance are achieved, then bravely look inward, seeking the expansion of the soul.

The thing you're anxious about and desperately trying to grasp is actually the treasure of this stage of your journey.

Embrace this gap; it’s not a flaw in life, but a steering wheel guiding your upgrade.
Allow yourself to have “shortages” at this stage, and be determined to find them.
As long as you keep moving forward, every effort at each stage is highly worthwhile.
