Last week, Sophia was overtired and started to have a temper tantrum.\\xa0 She told us that the only thing that can make her stop crying and cure her sadness was a new toy.\\xa0 In fact, she said that if we got her this new toy she would never be sad again.\\xa0 Of course, we all know that getting Sophia a toy would not lead to her everlasting happiness, but in this episode Eva really dives into WHY money and the material possessions it can buy can never guarantee your happiness.\\xa0 Eva borrows some great lessons from Jay Shetty\\u2019s new book Think Like A Monk, which is one of our favorite books of 2020. Jay draws the following distinction between success and happiness in his book:\\xa0 \\u201cSuccess is earning money, being respected in your work, executing projects smoothly and receiving accolades.\\xa0 Happiness is feeling good about yourself, having close relationships, making the world a better place.\\u201d We believe this is such an important concept to teach our children at a young age.\\xa0 I know many of our kids (including Eva and Sohpia!) are excited to open their presents this holiday season.\\xa0 But in this episode, Eva shares why those gifts are not the key to our happiness, and why fulfillment must come from within.\\xa0 Thank you Jay for the great lesson, and we hope you\\u2019ll be Eva\\u2019s guest on the podcast in the not so distant future :)\\xa0 Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/227
