Sometimes you have to wonder if everyone in life pulls the “Obama” trick, the trick that has been played on the masses for hundreds, if not thousands of years!
How many times have you been told something by someone and then they do the complete opposite?
Too many is my guess. I used to think I expect to much from people and that I needed to lower my expectations. Now, I wonder if maybe I am sucker!?
Bend over and take it again.

Well, this story is a story of my life and all my thoughts and wonderings on the way to finding wealth in this world.
Since I started I have found that the definition of wealth has changed dramatically for me. Not even in a monetary sense. Sure my monetary definition of wealth has changed but so too has the entire definition.
Wealth can now be understood in the physical sense. Health is so very important. Keeping fit, running, weight lifting, jumping and general exercise have become paramount to maintaining the dream of wealth and a millionaire mind. How can you feel like a millionaire if you feel fat and lazy?
Wealth has also changed in the spiritual sense for me. It used to be about understanding of a higher presence and behaving ethically while being challenged with this life. Today it is much different. Today it is a pro active engagement with the world around me and with my own mind. A higher level of consciousness. Understanding what people are really saying, understanding what I’m really saying. How often do we speak without thinking how we are truly affecting other people? How often are we really in control of our mouths? Are we just being cautious with our mouths or are we pro actively using our mouths for the benefit of ourselves and those around us?
What’s more, how loyal are you to those same words you have used in the past? Surly white lies and over dramatizing feelings cannot hurt that much? You can answer that yourself. But what I have realized is that it’s ME that has to live with ME and nobody else. How enjoyable do I want to make my life when no one is around? The thoughts we have must be guided to higher levels of awareness and happiness.
Nothing in this world makes you happy!!!!
- Money
- clothes
- people
- cars
- property
- promises
Nothing will make you happy unless you give it the power to make you happy!!!!!
This means we can control our happiness, our enthusiasm for life; we simply attribute everything with happiness and then we become happy.
It’s all in the mind.
What is worth mentioning though is how you feel bad sometimes! Ask yourself why you feel bad and then simply ensure that you don’t do, act, or say anything even remotely close to what made you feel bad.
I had a lover once that wanted nothing more in the world but to be with me and bare my children. I loved her for it. I thought it was healthy until I seen the rest of her life fade away, her friends, her hobbies, interests, nothing seem to motivate her anymore unless it meant us relaxing, walking the dogs or making dinner.
Yes, of course this is a noble and very loving way to be. I can see it in my future. But I had to make the decision for her. Only in her mid twenties, I had to push her back into the world so that she could grow. Her infatuation with me was destroying her soul. I love her. I always will.
Now, I am left without that her love……everyday asking why did I do it?……..it would have been so comfortable to have her love with me at all times………have I sacrificed my love so that she may grow?
Wealth……….Sometimes you must lose to win.
