You know how when someone says they're rich, we automatically think they have a lot of money? A big house, nice cars, financial freedom, all of that.
Making me feel behind in some way; not part of the ‘Rich’.
To me, being rich is about having abundance in so many different areas of life.
I have a home with a low interest rate, a paid-off car, food in our fridge, and a job that allows me to work from home. Which I'm especially grateful for because I used to drive over an hour each way to work.
I have three healthy, happy boys who keep life interesting, and a husband who supports me and puts up with all my moods. Bless him.
Am I where I want to be financially? Nope. Do I still want more for myself and my family? Absolutely.
But that doesn't mean I'm not already rich.
I think it's so easy to get caught up in what everyone else has, what we wish we had, or where we thought we'd be by now. We forget to appreciate what's right in front of us.
So here's something I've been trying to do.
When those feelings of jealousy, resentment, or just being unhappy with where I'm at start creeping in, I remind myself of all the ways I'm already rich.
Write them down if you need to. The little things, the big things, the things you've gotten so used to that you forget how much they mean to you.
And then actually take time to appreciate them throughout your day.
You can be grateful for what you have and still work toward what you want.
That's abundance to me. 🤍
