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,

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
