I asked an elderly patient years ago, “What is the most important thing you’ve learned in 85 years?”
And she said somethin to me I’ll never forget that I also heard on a podcast the other day that brought back this memory, “One of the most important things I’ve learned is health is the crown on the well person’s head that only the sick person can see & wealth comes in many other more important forms than money.”
Ooooof. Who else felt that? 👋
She went on to say, “I wished I had changed my perspective sooner. Mostly around the perception of being ‘wealthy’ & the perception that in order to be beautiful I had to be skinny. I realize I was always chasing a goal like being rich & losing as much weight as possible instead of embracing the experiences of the journey & being grateful for what I already had.”
I don’t know about y’all but I love spending time with the elderly. They’re full of magical wisdom.
3 things I’ve learned in my 39 yrs on this earth I’ll share with you in hopes of you learning this sooner than I did:
➡️Joy, purpose, fulfillment (JPF) vs fame, fortune, applause (FFA). Which would you choose? I choose JPF because if you choose JPF the FFA will follow.
➡️Forms of wealth: self mastery, self awareness, family, health, your craft, personal development, money, time, freedom, charity, adventure, your circle of genius & environment
➡️Don’t lower your standards or standard of living to meet your income, raise your income & standards of living to meet your standards.
➡️If you’re gonna chase something, chase service. Because “To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.” – Thomas Campbell.
We’re all gonna die what are you gonna leave behind? Abs, money in the bank, or the memories of a life well lived?
