What makes you rich

in life •  7 years ago 

A lot of times i realize that people are driving for money, as they associated it with being rich. Today, i would like to offer you a different perspective, which many of us already aware of.

For me, being rich is not about any monetary value or possession, as those things can be taken away from us very easily and they do not fulfill me personally. Do not get me wrong, i do believe that being financially free provides one with more opportunities to pursue what one really desire, i am just not a fan of the situation when people attach their personal happiness towards reaching a financial goal. Rather, if one manages to enjoy the process of the way, i believe one could get more out of his / her journey, what we call life.

But anyhow, the real deal about what makes you rich in my opinion is: To be able to apply, possess and switch frequently between your own paradigms and perspectives as you need it.

Why? Because as you go through life, being able to analyze and look at a given situation through different perspectives (eyes) allows you to also derive something positiv from a negativ experience. It allows you to enjoy working hard, which is with a proper perspective not negatively connotated, hence we then call it a vision. Working towards your personal vision should normally provide you with energy and fulfillment.

Perspectives provide us with emphaty and the possibility to connect different dots due to being able to see a picture from different angles. But most importantly, i think having multiple perspectives in life allows us to be more independent from our circumstances, which is in my eyes is what truly makes us rich. Being able to reduce our dependence due to the fact that we have other opportunities and the power to apply a positiv mindset.

Thus, being able to provide yourself with more perspectives and being able to see through different paradigms in your life enriches your overall quality of life.

I hope you already have multiple perspectives and provide others with some by giving back and teaching them :)

Share your knowledge and talent and create perspectives
