What should wealth be?

Hello. So, this is new… first ever blog post. AGHH!! Hopefully it’ll go okay.

I wanted to talk about wealth. Now, not in a money respect but our blessings and things we should value. There is a fabulous song called Preacher by OneRepublic. There are a lot of great lyrics in this song that have amazing meanings but one fits in perfectly with this topic.

“He was a million miles from a million dollars but you could never spend his wealth”

Now isn’t that just brilliant?! I’ll give you a minute to really think about it…

Okay, minutes up! So it’s basically saying he doesn’t have a lot of money but what wealth he does have, you can’t take away from him. He doesn’t class wealth as how much money he has or material things but in his life, health, relationships with people, happiness, what he believes in etc.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those ‘money can’t buy you happiness’ people. I believe money, once you have enough to not worry about bills and have extra for some nice things, can’t buy true or eternal happiness. If you buy a new DVD, you will be happy when you watch it and happy that you now own it but it won’t make you happy with everything in life nor will the happiness it brings you last. That was a bad analogy but you get what I’m trying to say; material things are only temporary.

Now, I should probably go into how to find happiness, be comfortable with what you have and so on but a) that would take a long time b) I’m not capable of giving good advice in that area and c) this is more of something to think about than something that is helpful.
