Financial Freedom: # 10. Recognizing True Wealth, Be Contented- Be Happy!
What is true wealth, true financial freedom? This question is the real bottom line of our life and each one of us must address it, regardless of the bottom line that shows up each month on our bank statements. Why? Because the quality of our lives does not depend only on how we accumulate, save and spend our money. True financial freedom lies in defining ourselves by whom and what we are, not by what we do or do not have. You are the person you are right now. We cannot measure our self-worth by our net worth.
Recognizing your wealth, perhaps the greatest truth you should keep in mind as you pursue your way to wealth is this: money should not be the end itself, but the means to a greater end. A wealth, as we shall see, shouldn’t be confined to material riches alone. Money is not meant to be kept or stashed away, but to be used, and to be used rightly.
The world of money, recognizing the true wealth in your life, seems seeking a meaningful answer to the big questions in life. But these two worlds must flow in and out of each other, because it takes both money and spiritual understanding to sustain us. Truly speaking, what determines where our money with its awesome power will go, and what it will do for us and to others? Be contented and happy to what you have in life.
Everybody wants to have a happy life. Be contented of your life, money can’t buy you happiness, but money can help you enjoy life more, which enhances your happiness.
But remember this: one of the most basic laws of attaining wealth is to love people and use money, not use people to love money. Money will not change who you are; it actually intensifies the kind of person you are. Look what happened to some famous but greed people when they got more money.
Once we have taken care of the people we love, it is worthy to accumulate money, and in this website we have learned to attract and create money for the futures. With the responsibility of accumulating money, however, comes the equally urgent responsibility of using money wisely, taking satisfaction of yourself is what it can do, knowing as well what it can’t do. A rich person who take no pleasure in their money and who never share their bounty will never be financially free. People with much, much less, who do take immense pleasure in what they have so carefully created, will in the end be far freer.
Be contented in your life makes you happy. I hope that this website will remind you of the richness and worthiness that have been in your life all along, and I hope too, that this website will help you to create more wealth, to sustain you and those you love. I hope you take down notes on this website to help you remind the important pages can give your life financially free. Remember that by merely reading this website without actions will not make you financially free and rich. Money itself cannot make you financially free. Only you can make yourself financially free, and you can do it – and so much more. You have the power to do it.
Money should be used not just to make you happy but others – first and foremost your family – happy. The Golden Rule in becoming rich is this: if you want to get everything you want in life, you have to help other people enough to get what they want. Money is actually a tool by which we enrich not just our lives but also the lives of others. Remember also: the more you give, the more you receive.
