Defining 'Richness'

Emmanuel Brown · Wednesday, October 15th 2008 at 2:06AM · 1606 views
What does being rich mean to you?

Does it mean having lots of money? If so, how much? Being able to afford homes and cars? Other material things? Having a beautiful family? Peace at mind? Security? Or is it something else?
There is not a person besides yourself that can say if any of these answers are right or wrong. You are the one and only person that can determine the things that will make you feel that your life is full of richness.

You have to look within to discover the things that you really want from life and understand the qualities that these things represent. Always remember that these are the things that make you feel rich, and the qualities or characteristics that define richness in your life are determined by what really makes you happy.

Brother Emmanuel,
Being rich to me is simple. good health, and loving people around you. Regardless of your economic level or geographic position, if you have access to those two things you are quite rich. For you have a good life, and where there is life there is hope.
Hope can lead to anywhere, even places of gold.

Good morning my beautiful brothers!!

I agree wholeheartedly with Monk…Without the love of family, true friends and spiritual wealth you have that feeling of emptiness, a deficiency of the soul…if you will; even if you have a house on top of the hill with multiple cars in the garage.

I AM “RICH” in SOUL, SPIRIT, HEALTH and in LOVE!

To me being rich is getting to know God as your Father. Understanding his plan for your life and accepting the liberty he gives to you to fulfill a purpose so rich that it influences the life of others to aspire to reach their own goal and potential. I believe at the end of a such a life you can look back even at the mistakes in life and see progress and you've grown into a person you were always created to be.

That is a definition that I can truly agree with.

I am glad to be able to share in the richness with people who are abundantly rich themselves.

With the creator, anything is possible. A life full of possibilities is absolutely rich.

Being rich to me means having peace of mind to enjoy life and all it has to offer inspite of my economic situation.

I say all the time that I'm rich... maybe not financially but in love and family my wealth is abundant.
Everyone looks at things differently in life. Some look at things from a technical prospective others from a spiritual/mental prospective I'm one of those spiritual/mental people when it comes to things like this.

Great post...
Thanks for sharing.

I am glad that you agree that there are others that believe that there is more to life than money.
