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,

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
