Wealth is not about money, it's a feeling

[Jules Ritter]

If this discussion is all about money and getting material things, winning the lottery then I'm not interested. Sorry! That is harsh but true, at least for me. True wealth is about a feeling of abundance in your life. It's friends who call, family who care, a house full of love and life, talking to neighbours, communicating, enjoying fulfilling creative work, helping others, sharing, having meaningful hobbies, spending time and energy on helping others and ultimately yourself. It's a feeling of joy and love that surrounds you.
Yes, I'll have some of that. I would like to attract more meaningful relationships into my life - connect with people on a better level and enjoy exciting times together.

Is this what you want Pilar?

Hey Cristina,

I agree theat prosperity is always welcome but only as a means to enhance, to make more comfortable, and to bring new opportunities into a life that is already abundant with everything that money cannot buy.

Totally agree

Hi Jules,

My point of view about riches is not only about money, but money plays a really important part in it, since we live in a time and a society where money is the universal way to reach the best of all what exists (I will explain further that it doesn't mean only the material world).

I grew up in a so called "Third World Country", and let me tell you that having seen kids living in poverty, malnutrition, having seen news about people that died because they didn't have enough money for a medicine, and so on... I know that money plays an important role, and I want to have a healthy relationship with money as I have with myself, my family and friends.

I rather work to improve my life now that I am young and healthy to build some important continual sources of income in order to help more people than just my family... this is a project that I have, and is not about giving a fish one day, but giving the means to become good fisher themselves. I am doing all this while taking loving dedicated care of my family, my friends and couldn't be doing it without having all their love and support.

For me a richer life is a life where I can develop myself in mind, soul and body to my best, giving to the world the best of the talents God had blessed me with .. this, I am sure, is the best way to feel fulfilled, joyous and plenty, of course a richer life after all is not a matter merely of a bank account or cash in my pocket (after all richer people in the world doesn't even need cash or use credit cards, money is a way, not a matter), but about a life with purpose.

Again, for me a richer life means to be really happy and satisfied (nowadays you cannot feel plenty unless your body, mind and soul have fulfilled their daily needs like love, food, shelter, learning, having fun among others).

All the best in a richer life,

Pilar

Let's keep the discussion where it started, in the "What does a richer life means to you?" to let other members joining the discussion watch all the posts and keep the tracking off all the replies,

Thanks a lot : )
