What is the real wealth?
Abstract
This thesis is
mainly to tell modern people what is the real
wealth.
Real wealth is not judge by the
numbers of your bank accounts
or
material possessions, but made up of by many other
important aspects such as a harmony
family
, true friends, a good
health, spirituality etc. How to get
the real wealth and managed
to keep it
along with your life is another important skill.
1. The general opinion of
real wealth for modern
people.
What is real wealth? I
think this is a topic that more and more
people will concern.
1.1
Most of
people think real wealth is stands for having a
large
a mountof money and material
possessions.
Well, if you asked people
?
what is the real w
ealth
h do you think?
?
,
Most of people would tell you that
wealth is having an abundance
of money
and material possessions, being financially free
and
rich. However
, our real
wealth and true net worth expand much
further than the numbers in our bank
accounts.
If we limit
ourselves to a narrow definition of
wealth, we will never be able
to fully
enjoy life and experience our true riches.
1.2
P
e
ople
’
s longing for money and
possession is endless.
Our current
monetary system produces a lack mindset and leads
us to believe we must constantly be
chasing the money if we
want to be
happy and content. Messages of accumulating more,
more, more are constantly thrown at us,
and as we strive for
bigger and
better
, it?s often never enough. Our
longings for more
seem to go to
infinity
.
We think that if
only we had a bigger
house, a job
making 20% more, a fancier car
, then we
would
really be set. But then we find
out nothing could be further from
the
truth.
Often when we do end up with
more, we find that the
void we thought
would be full is still empty
.
1.3
People still
unhappy when they get the so-called wealth.
Peoples are less happy now than thirty
years ago due to longer
work hours.
Even more disconcerting is that joint study in the
periodical Science shows that richer
people now are not much
happier “moment
-to-
moment”
than
less wealthy individuals.
The authors
even say “effect of income on life satisfaction
seems
to be
transient.
”
Our economy is
in intensive care, and there is
no
clear indication of when things will be
better
.
1.4
It is right time to tell people what is
real wealth,
This is the perfect time to reexamine
our thoughts and ideas
about wealth.
How empowering is it to define your net worth by
an outdated and dysfunctional money
game that is rigged for an
elite few
and is constantly upping the ante for the rest of
us?
Although the current system is our
reality for the time being, we
need not
give it any more power than is absolutely
necessary
. As
we shift our
thinking, we realize our true wealth is the things
that
money just can?t compete with or
provide.
2. So what is the
real wealth?
In
my opinion, wealth include below outlines in
general:
2.1
Your Health/ Your soul Mate/Partner
?
Your Health
-It may sound
like a lich, but your health is
your
greatest wealth.
If you
feel lousy
, it doesn?t matter how
much money you have possessed of or how
many summer
homes you own. More
importantly, if you have bad health, it?s
harder to enjoy your other riches such
as your friends, family
,
and
passions. Do pay high attention of
your
good health. It?s one
of your greatest
assets indeed. If you think not, then talk to
?
someone who is
suffering from a serious illness. Most people
who are seriously ill see a bigger
picture than those of us who
are
healthy
. Learn from them and start to
expand your
perceptions of
what?s
real important in life. Wake up
every day
and thank the deity of your
choice for yet another day of good
health.
Your soul
Mate/Partner
-What a wonderful thing it
is to
spend your life with someone you
love. Our deepest desires as
human
beings are not really money or the material, but
love.
Remember when you first fell in
love and how great you
felt.
Having someone to go through the good
times and the bad
times makes the
journey of life so much easier
. It?s a
real
blessing to have someone special
in your life, so please cherish
them
and don?t take them for granted.
2.2
Your Children/ Your friends/ Animal companions
?
?
Your
Children
-Children are priceless! Need I
see more?
Friends
- Families are
wonderful but our friends are extra
special because we choose each
other
. We have no control over
who our families are, but all the
control in the world when it
comes to
picking our friends. Friends are there to help you
through bad times and to share the good
times. And when we
reciprocate by being
there for them, the rewards are two-fold,
because we gain the joy of having been
there for someone as
well. Good
friendships allow us to be with people who accept
us
for who we are and are not forever
trying to alter us.
Your
animal companions
-Animals friends bring
so much joy
and fun to our lives.
Besides the regular activities we participate
in with our animal friends, just
watching them as they go about
their
day to day lives can keep us entertained for
hours. Animals
teach us to live in the
moment and not to fret about the past or
worry about the future. Our animal
companions are the epitome
of
unconditional love.
2.3
Free Time/ Access to Modern Conveniences
?
?
Free
Time
- The gift of time to spend in any
way you choose
is an asset rivaling the
most successful monetary investments.
What a luxury it is to have time to
spend with family and friends,
time in
nature, time reading and relaxing, time for fun,
time for
getting adequate sleep, and
time to just do nothing if that?s what
floats your boat.
The
extravagance of time is definitely a
valuable commodity and an often under-
rated resource.
Access to
Modern Conveniences
- The times we live
in
provide us with more access to
technology and modern
conveniences than
ever before in the world?s history
. You
have a
refrigerator
, right?
Access to a washer and dryer? What about a
TV, computer
, microwave,
radio, electricity, heat, air
conditioning, etc? Compared to past
generations, most of us live
like
royalty. Modern conveniences save us time and make
life a
whole lot easier
.
2.4 Your Life
Experiences
?
Your Life
Experiences
-Each of us are unique and
our life
experiences make us who we
are. Whether they are good or bad,
we
can use our experiences to learn, teach, and
contribute to
those around us. So if
you aren?t already, get out there and
purposefully start living. You?ll have
setbacks for sure, but you
will also
have many victories as well.
2.5 Your
Spirituality/ Education/ Humor
?
Spirituality
-If you are a
person who travels a spiritual or
religious path, then you know the
rewards
—
peace of mind,
comfort, support, a connection with the
divine. Spirituality is
what feeds our
soul and differentiates between the materialistic
world and the world we cannot see. We
all know deep down
there is something
more to being alive than just what is in front
of us, but so often we forget and get
caught up in things that
won?t matter
in the long run. Our spirituality
helps
us through
