Wealthier

We have all heard the old adage so many times it has become tired and cliché:  Money doesn’t buy happiness.  Of course, that saying seems to fly in the face of the countless social media posts of individuals eagerly flaunting their wealth as they lounge happily on the bow of a 40-foot yacht off the coast of some tropical paradise.  We have been conditioned to view money as a one-way ticket to total freedom – and existence where we never have to work, can buy whatever we want, and live life like a 24/7 vacation from any responsibilities. 

The truth is, however, that true wealth goes far beyond money.

Uncovering the Many Facets of Wealth

Money might not buy happiness, but it certainly opens countless doors and opportunities that simply do not exist for those who are financially insecure.  While it is true that financial wealth and freedom can allow you the opportunity to vacation more and purchase more extravagant things, the reality is that wealth provides you with something far more powerful and impactful than a padded bank account:  Wealth opens up opportunity in hundreds of ways.

Wealth, in many ways, is freedom.  Freedom to make choices that align with your goals.  Freedom to live in a way that is authentic to your vision.  Freedom to explore the world, work on projects that mean something to you, and build a brighter future for countless generations.  Wealth can give you more time to do the things you want to do, improved health outcomes that lead to longer lives, better resources to protect yourself and your loved ones, and opportunities to shape your life however you see fit.

It’s Simple: Growing Your Wealth Can Improve Your Life

To be clear, you don’t need to be a multi-billionaire or even millionaire to enjoy the many tangible, emotional, and social benefits of financial security and wealth.  By building wealth, you are creating new opportunities, removing previous barriers, and establishing a new, improved standard of living for you and your loved ones.  

Money might not be able to buy happiness, but mindful and intentional financial security and wealth building can certainly help you build a happy, healthy, joyful, productive, and rewarding life for yourself and your loved ones.  Wealth is a gift that you can give yourself that has the power to bless so many others – from your family members to your community.  When financial burdens are no longer weighing you down, you can find yourself free to live a happy and productive life filled with endless opportunity, choice, and freedom.
