Our down times are when we forget about the ultimate worst. Understanding the idea that someone could be doing worse than we are should bring a humbling feeling.
While we're on this journey of financial wellness, there will be down times. In those moments, reflect and take time to focus on what’s truly priceless.
The Bond That Stays Forever
There’s an intangible bond that's formed when you find loyalty in someone. A shared glance of empathy and trust that becomes unbreakable. Having someone show up for you, keep their word, and care genuinely is rare—and priceless.
What Drives You Deep Inside
Intrinsic motivation sets someone apart. It’s the internal drive that comes from passion, purpose, or a sense of accomplishment—not external rewards. This type of motivation lasts longer and is far more meaningful than ambition.
How Important Is Air?
Remember challenging someone to hold their breath underwater? Think about how badly you wanted air in those final seconds. Air is life—a gift we take for granted until we need it most. Just being able to breathe makes every day worthwhile.
The One Thing You’ll Never Get Back
There’s never enough time. Time is finite, and we can’t predict when it will end. Over a decade has passed since I was an undergrad—it flew by. Seize your time. Be present. Enjoy today, embrace your loved ones, and take small steps toward your dreams.
The Quiet Money Can’t Buy
True silence is your well-being. A quiet mind, or the ability to experience peace amidst chaos, is priceless. When I began meditating in 2017, I discovered that peace wasn’t something external—it was within me. Silence conserves energy and brings clarity.
Be the Original You
Originality is the ability to create something unique and be who you truly are. Everyone is different, holding their own beliefs and life experiences. You are the originator of your life. Don’t imitate others and embrace your individuality.
What You Don’t Learn in School
Wisdom isn’t just about degrees—it’s about life’s experiences. Challenges and unexpected events offer lessons no classroom can teach. Education gave me structure and knowledge, but wisdom came from lived experiences.
Time to Look Inward
Time for reflection allows you to understand your feelings, decisions, and growth. I use my birthday every year for reflection. It’s a moment to celebrate, evaluate, and set new goals. Reflection brings clarity, and clarity is priceless.
What Truly Matters in Life
These priceless elements—loyalty, time, silence, originality, wisdom, and reflection—hold profound meaning. In the pursuit of financial wellness and material success, don’t overlook the intangibles that give life its deepest value.
Lovely. And blessed sleep. Blessed, uninterrupted, deep, open-the-window-and-let-in-the-night-air sleep.
Beautifully articulated, each potion narrates glimpse of true wisdom beyond materialism.
True happiness lies in creating an equilibrium between financial and emotions needs.:)
