The True Meaning behind True Wealth
Before getting started I’d like to take a few moments to explain the title of my e-book “The Wealthy House Painters Guide to Having It All”. So many equate wealth with money. Let’s be honest. Money is vital to our survival and to the quality of our lives. In fact many believe it’s the only measure of true success. However, money is only one measure. Real wealth isn’t about having a bulging bank account or a second home. To me it’s about realizing and putting into action your unique gifts. I mean the type of gifts you can’t buy and no one can ever take away from you. Having it all is about using those unique gifts and talents to create the life you want for yourself and those you care about.
When discussing people who possess true wealth, it’s important that you understand true wealth is relative to who you are talking about. My definition of wealth and Donald Trump’s definition of wealth are two different things, to be sure. One cannot fix a price on true wealth. To me, true wealth means not being shackled to a budget. True wealth also means having the ability to acquire everything needed for you and your family to live an enjoyable, stress-free life.
My defining moment, the moment when I realized I had made it was the day I stopped working so hard. I opened my eyes, looked around and discovered I had everything I needed in my life to enjoy success. No bells or whistles went off; no one put a giant cardboard check in my arms and took my picture. Just knowing that I have the freedom to do pretty much anything I want keeps me pumped!
May you always be blessed with the fearless determination to go after everything you want in life. And, the unwavering faith in knowing you won’t stop until you get it; no matter how grand. This is the true meaning of having it all.
