I have not waited till I amass a large amount of material wealth to do the things I want to do.

Whether it be purchasing properties, helping people in the community, buying objects, or traveling the world. All of this can be done if you really want it. Where there is a will – there is a way, so they say.

Some are smart, some are lucky, some work hard, and some have passion, persistence and determination.

When we desire lots of money, a big property portfolio, the latest cars or  luxury holidays – what are we actually trying to find in them?

I believe the answer is happiness. It could also be security, validation, a feeling of success. All these things can be achieved if we look within and find inner contentment. Then the external activities of owning that portfolio, cars, and luxury items don't seem as important.

It is wonderful to achieve things in life and make yourself , your family and community prosperous, but if you begin with a sense of already feeling content, happy and fulfilled with what you have, then I believe this is a solid foundation for tremendous wealth to prosper.
