True Wealth

I am now truly wealthy.  Does that mean I’m a billionaire like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet?  No!

But it does mean that I have abundance in my life.  First and foremost, I now have an abundance of health and energy.  Since the Life Mastery health seminar (and cleanse) I have felt fantastic… better than I’ve ever felt in my life.  I feel like I’m getting younger,… reverse aging.  It feels great!

The key to sustaining and building this health and energy is this:  since the cleanse and fast, I have been on a 90% raw vegan diet.   No more crap:  no more processed junk, no more coffee, no more refined sugar.  I finally realized that health is not something that responds to half-assed measures.  Either you go all the way and get this incredible vitality, or you half-ass it and miss out on an extraordinary life.

Health (and that means vital energy) is the truest measure of wealth.   It sounds like a cliche, but now that I’m living it I want to shout from the rooftops in gratitude every day.  I feel I have my life back.

When you have health, everything else becomes so much easier.

Which brings me to the other keys to my feeling of great abundance.  For the past 3 years, I’ve been fairly obsessed with, and stressed by, my new business.   It wasn’t always easy.  And this year, as it grew like crazy, I found myself becoming a workaholic… which is contrary to my nature in the extreme!  Even more sad, because I have a web business I found myself sitting alone in front of a computer day after day after day… getting stressed out by various nitpicky details and technical glitches.

I broke this pattern as a result of another seminar… a business mastermind group I joined called “Empire Group”.  Such an incredible and open-hearted group of people.  At our first meeting, I told them of my isolation, stress, and frustration… and they very nicely kicked my ass– and gave me the resources and recommendations I needed to change.  Practically the major thing that happened is that I hired two assistants.  And suddenly, my life is back!   I’m spending lots more time with my friends.  And work is now play again because I’m re-focused on the vision and dream and inspiration and fun.

What’s the takeaway message I get from these two transformations?  Well, what I notice is that both came about as a result of a strong dedication for continued learning and growth.  I could have spent my new extra income on a fast car, or a big mega-mansion.  Instead I chose learning.. books, CDs, video courses, and seminars.   And these have enriched my life far more than any gadget or status symbol could.

Whatever you have, whenever you can… always invest in your own personal development first.  I have found the rewards to be unimaginably huge!
