Wealth is a term so closely used to indicate our valuable assets that can be measured in terms of money. Is it true that wealth is nothing but money. Then why the proverb ... "Health is wealth". It's not just money, that makes you real wealthy. Lets explore a little.
Health is Wealth:
This is one of the oldest proverbs from ancient times. Its as true as "the sun rises in the east". You may ask, how come health adds up to wealth. Possibly, because you dont really get to concentrate on generating your wealth, when you are not in good health. Most importantly, if you look at healthcare services, its very expensive and most people cannot afford to take health insurance. Basically if you are in good health, you already have earned yourselves wealth points, avoid funding the hospitals with fees and pills. Keep yourselves fit.
Second, even if you are a millionaire, it doesn't mean you enjoy all the comforts of life. You need to be real healthy to ski, travel around the world, enjoy delicious food. Whether you are a millionaire or not, your sweetness tasting buds will be put to hunger if you are a diabetic. It doesn't matter how much money you have. So remember, you need to be in good shape if you really would like to someday enjoy the comforts your hard-earned money is going to bring you.
A friend in need is a friend in deed
We all know that a wealthies person has the potential to be sorrounded by lots of friends. They are surrounded by lots of people, friends and families, hosting parties and spending weekends in retreats. Most of them would be friends in need. They need something from the dollars you have got. But a real friend is not someone who is attracted towards your money. He is the one who values your friendship, no matter you are a millionaire or a bankrupt. Identify those people. Treat them well. Those are the guys who will prove to be your valuable assets at testing times.
Treat your family like friends and friends like your family
Family First
Other than our own satisfaction, we work to provide our family a comfortable life. A wealthiest person who hates his own family would find it really hard to enjoy his millions. Its very important to treat your family well and your family recognising your efforts is a valuable asset and energizer. Millions of motivational tapes is no match to the support you can get from family and friends.
Financial Success
Most of us consider earning more is wealthy. That's not. Its the difference between your income and your expenses that makes you wealthy. Most of us live on credit. We use the money we dont have and get us in big troubles. We buy our TV, Car, Home on loans and installments. When we have more in debt, its just not the earnings that make us wealthy. Its how much we can save after we close our installments/ EMI. And as Robert Kiyosaki says "Your wealth is determined in terms of time period, not money. Its how long your can float without having to earn anymore money. If what you have in your savings can provide your current lifestyle for next one year, without you having to earn any more dollars, then your are one year wealthy".
Conclusion:
Its not just how much money you make, that determines your wealth. It involves how much you save and spend, your lifestyle, your health, your valuable friends and family members ...
With luv,
Ashok.
