I have read about rich individuals being miserable on many occasions. The initial shock of this realization comes from the fact that we often consider money as the solution to all ailments, the savior and the key to happiness. The man may be rich but he may not be wealthy at all.

So why is rich man so poor? (I use the term man for both genders) • what is a man with money but no family or friends to share it with?
• what is a man with money but no time to enjoy it?
• what is a man with money who suffers from ill health?
• what is a man with money who cannot communicate with his wife and children?
• what is a man who is never content with his latest purchase?
• what is a man who is so insecure, he uses money and purchases to validate himself?
• what is a man with money who never understood the word charity?
• what is a man with money so hollow he has no other interests in life than material belongings?

That man, my friend, is poor.

I rather have less money tha
I dream of, but have the wealth of a quality life, where I enjoy every moment with my loved ones, where I learn and grow on my Happy path!

Where do you stand? What do you think of money and wealth? What is wealth for you? How can you improve your life and feel wealthy? How can you work towards increasing your income while keeping the essence of wealth in your life? These are some of the questions you can play with in your Jou
al to help you on your path.

I find this especially supportive for those of us who are looking to increase revenues through new initiatives. It is important to keep in mind the things that matter most to us. In our quest for cash, in our hard work and dedication to find a way to financial freedom, we sometimes forget the values that carried us to this point. Finding focus and keeping grounded with the principles of wealth, we can have a healthier relationship with money and a more enriching experience on the business adventure!

Each day we are given the chance to create something---a product, learning, a relationship, a connection, ideas and really whatever we desire. Regardless of who you are, where you live and your economic, cultural and educational situation, the choice is real. Today, I ask you to look at what you have decided to do, achieve, create or be and make sure that it jazzes you. Make sure it really fires you up and the idea of its attainment fills you with such excitement and high vibration that you could pop. And make sure it reflects your values. This is a big part of attaining happiness.
