We are a culture obsessed with obtaining great wealth and a pursuit of happiness. Sadly, most of us don’t even realize that the wealth we are chasing after is one that is rarely (if ever) accompanied by true happiness.
Yet there are many people who, though their bank accounts don’t reflect it, have more wealth than could ever be counted. They’ve figured out that the Bank of Life is unquestionably the best place to invest.
Deep happiness isn’t found in a fancy car, or expensive homes, exotic vacations or a world of exchanging jars of Grey Poupon through the window of a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce.
Instead of obsessively investing in foreign markets and capitol growth funds, invest in relationships and help grow others—they pay out much higher dividends. Rather than being fearfully consumed with the “what ifs” that life can bring and hoard every nickel and dime into savings, use that “what if” to craft things that will bring life to others and save them through your generous giving (from the heart—not necessarily from the pocketbook).
Don’t put your hopes in your stock broker, but put hope into the broken. Don’t simply earn interest on your investments, but invest in others by showing them interest—build their emotional bank accounts through generous, heart-felt deposits.
This is the great paradox of happiness: the more you give, the more you receive. Everyone’s wealth increases as you invest your time, your love, your words and your heart into the lives of others. Invest wisely.
