Are you Rich? When I speak those words, many people conjure up visions of being a millionaire on a personal luxury boat traveling around the world.
Unfortunately, this is not really the exact meaning of being ‘rich’ or bountiful that I am indeed talking about. Granted, you must take care of your finances and build wealth in order to be Financially Free someday, but I am speaking of the intrinsic value within you that really makes you rich. You see when you realize that everyday when you wake up and breathe oxygen into your lungs it’s a new day of renewal and one that you should give thanks or gratitude for the things that you have in your life right now.
There are many people that go about their life’s work, working a 9 to 5 job. Some even have two or three jobs just so they can pay the bills. Is this you? If it is, make sure you have something you are working towards and reflect on why you are working in the first place. You must have a purpose. When we have a clearly defined endpoint in mind, we can more clearly navigate and reach the type of life that we ultimately want to live.
You’ve got to realize that if you are living, you have a new and blessed opportunity each day in order really capitalize on living life and really reaching your goals. You see there is a basic law that says, until we are grateful for what we already have, we won’t be given any more.
I implore you to meditate and really visualize what your life can really look like, make it measurable yet attainable. You see if you take the time and pay attention, you will find that you really are a lot richer in many different ways than just the financial aspect.

I’m in the process of scaling down my hours at work. Two months ago I voluntarily stepped out of management because I hated it. There was no prestige, thrill, or reason to stay. I hated it and that meant I hated going to work. Best thing I ever did.
My goal has never been to be idle, but to have the freedom to do exactly the work I want. Great article, Dwight. Patrenia, wonderful guest!
Wow, you stepped down from management? What a bold move! I totally agree that when it doesn’t line up with your purpose the “so called” prestige doesn’t matter. Thanks, Josh.
Visualization is a part of my every day life. Brilliant post very motivational!
It is a powerful process. Thank you so much for stopping by InfoPreneur
