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?
