Life with Me in the middle

Are you rich? I am
May 14th
When you think of being rich or wealthy what is the first thing you think of? If you are like most the answer to that very question is your monetary value in our world. So with that in mind ask yourself, are you rich?
Now its my turn to answer the question. Am I rich? Absolutely, I consider myself to be extremely rich. I have been blessed with a beautiful wife and two perfect boys. If I were to lose every penny I would still have the love of my family which is enough to make me happy for a lifetime.
The problem with the world today is that we base our success or failure on our salary scale. Just because you make more money than me doesn’t mean your more important. That also applies to me, if I happen to make more money than you it doesn’t mean I’m better than you. To put it bluntly I know several people that make more money than me but I would be lying if I told you I thought they were smarter or had better ideas. Money has nothing to do with being rich.
Imagine life for a minute without money. No bills to pay, no need to worry being able to feed your family. In this situation you should realize that all you have that is important is your family. This is exactly how you should feel every single day of your life. While unfortunately we need money to survive its a shame when you let that get in the way of things that really matter, your family. If there is one thing I would like to instill in people it’s that your net worth has nothing to do with who you are or what you have achieved in life. You need to focus on sharing your wealth with your family. When your gone this wealth will be passed on to the next generation and they will pass it on to theirs. So I ask again, are you rich?

My children ages 2 and 1 are able to now use my gadgets with ease. I’m not 100% sure this is a good thing but just shows how times are changing. I still remember when cell phones came out that had a 2 line LED screen. Man that was amazing. You could see the entire number that was calling as well as the Caller’s name, if you paid for that feature of course.
My son in this picture is playing with Mommy’s Nokia N95 8GB and enjoying the DVD quality videos of himself. Every-time something beeps in our house he lifts his hand to his ear and says bellum, his version of hello. The point being technology does change our lives. For better or worse its here to stay and I’m happy to be part of it.
