"It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has."--Henry Ward Beecher
With so much depression in today's world, we forget that it is what is in the heart that makes a person rich, not what is owned or stored up in banks.
People complain that there is not as much money as there used to be. While this is probably true let us examine the things that money buys. We see something that catches our eye, we buy it, we enjoy it for awhile, grow tired of it and want more. It becomes a never-ending cycle of buying to make us feel good.
Since this feeling is so temporary and does not really bring us happiness then let us examine another way to achieve happiness. Let us concentrate on doing for others and giving away some of the things that we have bought to some one who does not have what we have. See how much better you feel. You revive the same feeling of pleasure when they express joy as you felt when you bought the item. It makes your heart happy and it makes the recipient happy for a little while.
Resolve now to spend less, give away more and enjoy sharing. It will make your heart happy. People live longer, feel better and attract positive energy with a happy heart.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Today I will spend less, give away more and do something for others that makes my heart happy.
