This was a great question that popped into my head last night. I love it because it totally blasts the concept of richness being primarily associated with money.
When I think about money in these terms, it makes me realize that the more money that I need to feel rich, the poorer I am. My feeling has been that if I’m making $1,000+ per week, I will have more money than I know what to do with it. Which is great, because it’s totally not a farfetched number.
But lately, I’ve been feeling very rich when I have enough money to get by, a bit left over to save, and a plan to expand my earning potential for the future. And it’s not the money that is mainly responsible for this feeling of abundance and wealth.
It’s the trust and dedication I have in my relationships; knowing that I am surrounding myself with people who bring out the best in me, as I do them. It’s the feeling that I have full control over my ship, and can move in any direction that I wish. It’s joyfully staying up until 5am, laughing and having amazing conversations with a true friend -- and not having to worry about waking up early the next day because I have no boss to answer to.
I guess the point I am making is very simple, yet forgotten by many people. I don’t need a ton of money to be wealthy, because I invest in myself and my relationships. There is so much potential for abundance in everything, I just have to open my eyes to it.
And you can do it too!
