All He Has Is Money

He is so poor. All he has is money. Anonymous

Real wealth lies in understanding real wealth lies in virtues such as kindness, trust, love. Not in the buildings or farms we own

We should be pursuing more to seek and expand these virtues because these are things that really count at the end of the day. Those before all else

What value is it to have all the wealth one could ever dream of but have children who do not known love because it is not a priority to express or experience love? If our kids cannot go out into the world and show love, the true currency of life, what's the point of having kids?

What's the value to boast of marriage when partners are bitter and unhappy when they were joined in marriage with the focus to draw from each other and at the end of the day be better people? Or what was the point of marriage?

Being 40+ we start to ask ourselves what does this really count for? It cannot be about just making it everyday, every month, every season . Every second should count to be happy, fulfilled and leave those around us enriched.

I believe we innately known this and the struggles we have within and without ourselves are a reflection of this. It takes tremendous courage to face these challenges in the face and deal with them.

But we walk away stronger when we love with sincerity and empathise, rather than apologize to end a misunderstanding quickly.

We walk away happier to say with sincerity you appreciate your spouse than seek their faults.

We find freedom when we forgive deeply and forget rather than have endless cold wars and exchange words,

Not quitting on what we started. Believing completely is what we need to do, in what we started. Believing in ourselves, in our spouses, our kids, in humanity sincerely as profound, special creations. With the humble appreciation we are all flawed. None greater nor lesser than the other.

Love wins the day
Love of self
Love of others
Love of God

That's all we are going to walk away from this life with; Love
