True Riches

"Time and health are two precious assets
that we don't recognize and appreciate
until they have been depleted."
- Denis Waitley 

We hear this all the time and I am just as guilty of using "Count your Blessings" until it almost feels like a cliche.

However,  there is no truer statement than the one above when it comes to measuring our value, our wealth and our abundance!

It is very easy to get caught up in the competitive game of measuring prosperity and "wealth" and using solely material goods or our bank accounts as the measuring stick!

Do not allow yourself to fall into this trap!

In the grand scheme of it all, material riches are by far the last thing that matters when we look at what "value" we put on our efforts and acts here in this short life!

Now don't get me wrong - you can surely strive to achieve success and obtain abundance in all you endeavor - and I don't believe there is anything wrong with that at all!

God wants us to be abundant and happy - and to be the best at whatever we undertake!

However, if that is all we can point to at the end of our lives as our "true value" - as the single most important thing we accomplished on this earth - we are in for a rude awakening and it will be too late at that point!

Stop comparing and measuring your wealth on material and earthly items and possessions!

Our true net worth comes from our actions - from our service to others - from our kindness and compassion!

If you can get out of bed this morning of your own power and have the ability to move around freely - void of pain or discomfort - I have news for you:

You are officially as wealthy as ANYONE on this planet!!!

If you have the capacity today to conduct acts of kindness and to serve others even in the smallest of gestures - YOU are King Midas as far as true worth and value is considered!
If you have family or friends to care for and love - you are truly blessed with something that cannot be captured in dollars and cents - no matter how much money is proffered!

Escape the material possession trap today and truly COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS  - because there are millions of people - Right Now - who would trade what they have to endure on an hourly or daily basis with you in a heartbeat and never let the smile escape their lips!!

Time and Health - if you have one or God willing both - guess what:

YOU are the richest person in the world!

Don't squander this wealth with worry, fear or longing for it all! 

You already have it ALL!!

Stay Strong!
