What Matter Most in Life and What is True Wealth?

I have been thinking a lot about life and the things that bring true abundance and happiness to me in my life.

Here are a few of the things I can think of:

Family – Family is something that many people take for granted. Think for a second about this. If you were given two options, give up all of your money or give up your family, which would it be. Hopefully, your money. What about family vs. property, cars, etc. For me the answer is I would not give up my family for anything.

Friends – Friends are such an important part of life. The friends you choose will hlep determine where you end up. Are you choosing friends who uplift and inspire, or friends who drag you down. I have know both types of “friends.” Take a look at the people you associate with every day. If they are not building you up and helping you become a better person, take a more careful look at the relationship and see if you can figure out what to do.

Service – People are the only “things” with intrinsic value. Without people, nothing else has value or even matters. I have found that by focusing on serving others and looking for opportunities to help someone out (no matter how petty or small it may seem) has made my life better.

Inspiring Work – I just finished reading Dr. Wayne Dyers book “Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling.” As I have been reading, I have been trying to not only find the things that inspire me, but be inspiring to others, and use inspiration in what I do each day. It doesn’t matter so much what you do, you can always find a way to live a life of inspiration. I have been inspired by a person working at a fast food place. It is about loving people, and loving what you do.

I challenge you to take a look at your life and ask yourself a few questions:

• What matters most to me in my life, and are those things truly the most important things?
• What do I focus my attention on? Are these the most important things in my life?
• What can I do today to serve someone else? or What can I do to make someones day better today?
• How can I live an inspired life?

These are questions that I try to continually ask myself, and when I do, I find that my life is happier and I feel much more abundant in all areas of my life.
