Three years ago I had well over 2.5 million dollars sitting in the bank! I was considered "rich" on paper but I felt completely broke in my personal life! I didn't have many close personal friends and my relationships with others were built on a premiss of what they could do for me or vice versa.
This morning as I scrolled down my news feed, I noticed many of my "friends" here on Facebook were either A) Speaking about their wealth B) Speaking of others wealth or C) Trying to sell programs to bring in more wealth when I know for a fact they don't have two cents to rub together.
This makes me feel a bit disappointed. I'm very careful who I allow to appear on my news feed. This means that somewhere along the way they have stepped away from their true calling and are allowing the mighty dollar to take over their thoughts for long enough to make it a priority to post about it.
I will toss out this tiny piece of advice from a girl who has never known what it is to truly struggle but who has worked for everything she has!
You are only as wealthy as the richness you pour into those around you! If you continue to place the emphasis on money, true wealth will never be yours!
Today as I write this, I write from a place of knowing I have a group of close friends although small (I'm selective) that I can open up to about anything! I have a much closer bond with my two sisters and my mother and I have never gotten along better!
I no longer have 2 million in the bank. As a matter of fact I don't even have half of that. What I do have is a life filled with people, activities and more non judgmental LOVE than I could have ever hoped or dreamed was possible!
This my friends is called being the richest woman on the planet!!!
