How Do You Measure Your Wealth?

You Will Be Surprised…

I’m fully convinced…

Wealth isn’t money.

Wealth isn’t the cars you drive or the houses you own.

Wealth isn’t your jewelry, the stocks, bonds, or cash in your bank.

I now believe that wealth is an emotion.

Wealth is an inner feeling.

More precisely, wealth is an outlook, an attitude, a belief.

And the most obvious measurement of wealth is gratitude.

I learned this lesson a long time ago…

 

Aling Doring’s Point-Point

 

There was a time in my life when I had very little money.

Most days, I couldn’t afford to eat in Jollibee.

So everyday, I went to this tiny corner store called Point-Point.

In Tagalog, Turo-Turo.

Instead of a chair, it had a rough wooden bench.

Instead of a table, it had a linoleum-covered plywood.

Instead of air-conditioning, it had this large sweaty lady named Aling Doring who, with a native abanico in her hand, fanned me and swatted the army of flies around me. She also provided us great entertainment—telling us about Showbiz gossip from Inday Badiday. (Okay, now you know which century this took place.)

Point-Point sold me a bottomless soup, a cup of rice, a few strips of ampalaya, and 3 chunks of adobo—all for P10 only. That was a long time ago. When I was young and handsome. (Now, I’m just handsome.)

But every time I ate there, I felt so happy. I felt like a king. I felt so rich!

Imagine, I could eat! So many people—30% of the world—were starving.

So I enjoyed the yummy food. I enjoyed Aling Doring’s banter. I enjoyed the jeepney drivers who ate with me–their smells, their burps, and their laughter. It was absolutely lovely. And I always thanked God for everything.

Today, I have a little bit more money. Most of my business lunches are now done in five-star hotels and restaurants. I’ve been upgraded.

But deep inside, nothing has changed. I still feel like a king. I still feel rich.

Oh yes, compared to my billionaire financial mentors, I own crumbs. But in my heart, I’m already a billionaire. (I hope you are too.)

Remember this powerful truth: Your Wealth equals your Gratitude. And your Gratitude equals your Wealth.

May your dreams come true,

How to Set Priorities Using the ABCDE Method - Brian Tracy

The more thought you invest into setting priorities before you begin a task, the faster you will get the important things done. The more important and valuable the task is to you, the more motivated you are to overcome procrastination and launch yourself into the job. William Matthews said,  “The first law of success is concentration – to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right or to the left.” Today, I want to share a method of time-management for setting priorities that I’ve been using for years, called the ABCDE method.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
