Quality of Life Begins in Your Mind... (9)
I am happy because I enjoy the wealth I do have...my family, friends, my health, my intelligence, and my inner peace. I don't live my life longing for what I don't have, but rather enjoying fully what I do have. You're right, wealth and happiness are not found in things, but in people and inside oneself.
Beautiful post.

I don't know why everyone believes life is better if you don't have any wealth. Once in a while I would appreciate it if someone realizes that you can have both. Not everyone who has money is unhappy. I can have both an appreciation of material things and the wonders that my mind can generate. Just a different opinion...

True, John...although money can't buy happiness, it doesn't mean that one who has it is miserable. You can have both types of wealth...it's just rare.

Your real riches are riches in your head and heart.
Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation.
True satisfaction comes from appreciating what you have.
There are two ways of being happy:
you must either diminish your wants or augment your means.
It's always better to appreciate things you cannot have
than to have the things you cannot appreciate.
Your riches will always lie within you, not in your material possessions.
