Real Riches

TODAY'S QUOTE:

"Being rich isn't about money. Being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to take time to stop and eat the heart of the watermelon. And some of us will be rich without ever being more than a paycheck ahead of the game."... Harvey B. Mackay

You see folks... everything of any lasting importance begins and ends with our state of mind. The height of our joy and the depth of our sorrow is regulated by how we set our mind the same way a house is either hot or cold according to how we adjust the thermostat. What we look out at is not what defines our placement in the world, but our outlook most certainly does.

From our posture, to the tempo of our footsteps... we advertise the validation we assign to ourselves. And that does not have a thing to do with how much money we own or how much we owe. Dimes and pennies... dollars and cents are manufactured in a factory. If we have a lot we worry about how to keep it. If we have too little we fret about how to get it. But our true value cannot be calculated by what we own. If we set that as God then our soul is totally ignored as not worth even two cents worth of thought.

Real riches cannot be stashed in a vault for safekeeping. Joy, passion, and love are bankable valuables and our soul has unlimited storage space. But unlike worldly  riches the only way to earn more is to give it away. Then the real magic begins. The more we gift to others the higher our pile grows. Sharing earns a mighty dividend. Real riches are never manufactured in a factory of any sort. The treasures inside of each of us are priceless beyond any earthly measurement. Think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
