Instead of asking to be very rich, why not ask to be so wealthy? There is a huge difference between being rich and being wealthy but people don't know so they strive hard to become rich. Even some who do say they are not from a rich home don't know if they are actually from a wealthy home. Well, let's know what wealth is not and what it is.
Wealth Is Not Flashy
Wealth doesn't concern itself with things that are flashy to the eyes because such things fade away. Poor people who aren't wise to find ways out of their poverty tend to concern themselves with these flashy things to make people think they are rich. Those flashy things don't last so their pretense don't last either, they get hurt in the end.
Wealth Is Not Loud
Wealth is hardly spoken of and it lives its life like it doesn't really exist. What is loud is being rich, people hear and talk of them all of the world. They have so much money and continue to run their business to keep the money and fame coming. Wealthy isn't concerned with the fame or money it could get, it is contented and satisfied with it's quiet possessions.
What Wealth Is...
This is why you should ask for so much wealth and not more riches.
Wealth is health - Good health to enjoy life and your money. Wealth grows old in health to enjoy the fruit of its labor. Wealth is healthy because it worries less, doesn't live extravagantly to harm its health.
Wealth is time - Having time to itself, time to it's family and time to humanity. Wealth is not always busy because it plans it's time well and utilize it in the best ways.
Wealth is Options - Having the choice to choose whatever it wants and whenever it wants it. Wealth doesn't run out of chances and opportunities because it makes use of every good options given. In this sense, you could say wealth is smart and wise.
Wealth is freedom - The poor aren't free because they are finding ways to become rich if not looking for shortcuts to pretend. The rich aren't free because they want to be more richer than they are. The wealthy are free to do what they want, they have the time, the options and health to be free. The wealthy doesn't concern themselves with worries too much because they've learned to live freely.
From all that's said, almost everyone of us could say we're wealthy because we're healthy, have time to blog at least, have the options to do other things while we blog online, and we are free to take whatever decisions we want - That's being wealthy.
A rich person can be said to be wealthy when he has all that as well so I'm not saying being rich is bad, you can be rich and wealthy but don't go for flashy and loud things.
- Don't be the poor type that's flashy
- Don't be the rich type that's loud
- Be the wealthy type that's quiet and living comfortably.
I'll end the post with some words from @spitsete post titled
Habits of the wealthy people
Most of us will never become billionaires, and most of us will never want to be billionaires, even though we repeatedly plant messages into our little brains but the circumstances around us continue to encourage us not to become billionaires.
Don't take it the negative way, you don't have to be a billionaire to be happy. Just be sure to be wealthy and stay wealthy.
Thanks for visiting!!!
I always tell people this, the fact is not everyone is going to be extremely rich but you don't need to be to be happy, having comfort is enough.
Meanwhile, @dreemport brought me here.
That's just the truth that some people are yet to accept.
Thanks girl
!PIZZA great post. I saw you did well in the dcc tag contest. Nice one @merit.ahama I would definitely rather be wealthy than rich😍
Awww thanks so much for your words and yea, you should be wealthy 😊
This is indeed a powerful post about wealth...the last point sums it all up.. We should be a poor type that's flashy neither should we be the rich type that's loud but we can be the wealthy type that's quiet and comfortable...
Thanks for sharing this... @dreemport directed me to your post
Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate
Wow! @merit.ahama you seriously wowed me with this article. It is thoughtful and reflective.
I am wealthy because I have free oxygen to inhale. There are people lying on ventilators, purchasing oxygen and even then finding it difficult to breath
I'm glad you got the point of my post, life itself is wealth that we all should cherish and not run after riches that only knows how to grow my all means with too much effort.
Thanks for leaving a comment behind girl 😊
Yea such a big difference between rich and wealthy as you say being rich focuses on money wealthy encompasses so much wore and often what can be called intangible wealth
Tangible wealth... Hmm that's it
Thanks Jay 😊
Exactly, to many focus on the tangible wealth ie bank balance or possessions, the intangible wealth such as family friends the beauty of nature, its sad that these days so many do not seem to appreciate that
Very sad to know that such aren't much appreciated but we will keep learning to appreciate them more
👍🙂👍
as an Uncle of mine said to me once, dont think we cannot change the world by good actions, if we do it one other may see and change, and then slowly more will follow
I thought it was sound advice and even now 40 years later I remember so well him telling me that
Wise words from your uncle, glad you still put that in mind
👍🙂👍
This part got my attention.
