I’d rather have wealth.

I’d rather have health, well-being, confidence,

a playful nature that can knock any conversation up a few notches

so that everybody shares in the well-being.

When I walk into a room I’d rather have people feel good about themselves.

I’m wealthy all right, my heart is light. I know how to take any moment

and make it a better one.  I invite happiness.

I’ve got money.

Not so much that there are guards, walled barriers to my front entrance.

I’ve got a credit card or two and I can pay them in full every month.

I can keep up with me, without demons interrupting my sleep

or leaving messages I don’t want.

I could do the bookkeeping, balance the P&L sheets, but I don’t choose to,

because I know someone who loves to do it more than I do

and they have earned my trust.

I love money. I’ve taken those seminars that teach you how to attract it.

It comes to me out of thin air, out of wanting it,

mainly out of doing what I love, even when I have to love

what I’m doing, that works too.

Money works best when it is circulating,

rather than hoarded by oligarchs or funneled into industries of war

due to people’s ignorance or bravado.

Money is counted in numbers, but wealth isn’t.

Your real wealth can’t be taken away from you.

Gratitude is the greatest wealth insurer of all.

Do what you don’t like and you’ll get more of just that.

I’m not stuck in habits I don’t want.

I’m not a joiner. To political parties, unions or mass consciousness,

but I do get to participate in the best that life has to offer.

Freedom is wealth.

Things don’t own me.

I can visit a museum filled with as many treasures as a rich man can collect

and not pay a penny for the insurance or the upkeep.

I am wealthy because I have an innate sense of joy that I make sure

to cultivate with care.

And it amazes me how much of life is free;

the Grand Canyon, music, loving others.

turning from the excesses of accumulation -- to having it all.

This is the right time in 2009 for a mental or a material reassessment. Why not?

Reach for the best − all the time.

Think before you act, but before you think, know the value of everything.

Then check with your supervisor, your Source, your Inner Wisdom.

Want to be rich?

Give more than you take and the circle of life will reward you in plusses.

The Dalai Lama can walk anywhere and is given far more

than he will ever need.

Could it be that you are richer than you think?
