What Does “Rich” Mean to You?
By Synergy Capital Solutions on May 15, 2020
“Ask yourself: what values are important to you? What characteristics do you admire in those closest to you? If you could do anything, no matter how unrealistic, what would it be? What stone is still un-turned? Maybe you don’t have all the answers, and that’s okay. Discovering our purpose isn’t easy. But if you can find it, you’ll soon realize that your wealth is best used in support of your values, relationships, and ambitions.”
What Does “Rich” Mean to You?
We all have our own definitions of what it means to be “rich”. For some, it might be material, but for most of us, “rich” is about more than having a lot of money or living a luxurious lifestyle. It’s about financial freedom — it’s about having the ability to live our best lives.
Whether it be helping your children start a business, taking a year off to travel with a spouse, or taking your parents on their first international vacation, “rich” is about being able to do the things that make us feel most fulfilled. Think about it. Why are some of the world’s richest, most successful people so miserable? Because there’s a difference between being “rich” and living a “rich” life.
Too often people get caught up on individual achievements and status. They seek external validation and personal luxuries, rather than fulfillment, happiness, and contentment. The real richest people value strong relationships and extraordinary experiences. The challenge, however, is in discovering what form you’d like these relationships and experiences to take.
