10 Things That Are BETTER Than MONEY

1. Life: It’s easy to forget that the mere fact of conscious existence, that you are alive, is itself a miracle. As the old saying goes “every day above ground is a good day.”

2. Health: Rather than thinking of illness as something bad that happens to you, start thinking of health as something good that’s happening to you.

3. Purpose: There is nothing more conducive to long-term happiness than knowing that your actions are making the world a better place.

4. Friendship: Almost everyone has friends, although it’s easy to lose track of them in the rush of events. Take a few minutes today, to reconnect with some of them.

5. Family: If you’ve got a good relationship with your family, rejoice. You’re experiencing one of the deepest sources of happiness on the planet.

6. Self-reliance: Feeling secure that you can count on yourself to accomplish what you set out to accomplish creates a quiet but potent happiness.

7. Community: Having the support of a wider group makes you more aware that you’re part of something greater than yourself.

8. Gratitude: Rather than focusing on what you don’t have or what’s out of your reach, be thankful for the wonderful things already in your life.

9. Laughter: It is impossible to laugh and be miserable at the same time. Regular doses of laughter are more than medicine; it’s the flavor of life.

10. Love: “Conquers All.”

Create these ten things in your life and I guarantee that you’ll either become wealthier or, if not, you won’t really care anyway because you’ll already have got what’s important.
