True Wealth

Wealth in today's society is most often interpreted as how rich someone is, but what does being rich really mean?  Does having lots of money make you rich?  According to Wikipedia, "Wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or material possessions or the control of such assets.  An individual, community, region or country that possesses an abundance of such possessions or resources is known as wealthy."

Okay, so.... I guess that means that having lots of money does make you rich.  However, does being rich make a happy person, happy communities, or happy countries?  Possessing an abundance of material possessions is often a way of covering up a deeper need for something else.  When you take away those possessions and realise that you are the same person without them, you can then start to appreciate other things in your life and discover what really makes you happy.  What I describe as "True Wealth" then takes over and you become truly abundant.
 

Being rich isn't having everything you want...

Being rich is being happy with everything you have! ♥

That is true wealth!
