True wealth is not measured in money or status or power. It is measured in the legacy we leave behind for those we love and those we inspire.

 

Time spent with true friends is like an unlimited treasure chest. It’s always there waiting to be found, opened and enjoyed. And when that moment is over, for the time being, you know the treasure is still there waiting to be opened again another day.

It does not deplete, in fact, the more you draw on it the more it grows. It recharges your batteries, feeds your soul and reminds you that life isn’t only about earning your keep and looking after your home affairs. And knowing you can access it when you need to helps you feel secure and at ease.

This is true wealth. Even the poorest people in the world can be joyful if they are surrounded by people they love. And even if those people are many, many miles away, simply remembering they are there is enough to bring you peace and contentment.

I am privileged to have many true friends, including an extraordinary bunch of people who I’ve known since high school. Though we are all so very different, we each motivate, help and boost each other. Time and distance never diminishes our friendship, and precious moments together are life’s ultimate treasure.

A heartfelt thank you to my special friends for your continuous love and inspiration, you have left a real, lasting impression! Thanks to you all, I am starting my week renewed, deeply happy and feeling very rich indeed.

Wishing you all a wealthy week ahead! J
