The Meaning of Wealth

7/27/2019

"Money alone is only a mean; it presupposes a man to use it. The rich man can go where he pleases, but perhaps please himself nowhere. He can buy a library or visit the whole world, but perhaps has neither patience to read nor intelligence to see. The purse may be full and the heart empty. He may have gained the world and lost himself; and with all his wealth around him...he may live as blank a life as any tattered ditcher."

Robert Louis Stevenson - Scottish Novelist and Travel Writer
1850-1894

I have reinvented myself numerous times over my professional career.
One thing I have realized during all those changes is we were not supposed to live common and ordinary lives. We were made to be uncommon and extraordinary!
From my initial job out of college working for a Fortune 100 company, to my time in health care administration, to my years in law enforcement and eventually to my journey through cancer, I have come to understand that pain and suffering can make us stronger and more resolute.
We can use our struggles to make us better people if we embrace our discomfort.
I started this Blog with the hope that everyone who reads it will be inspired to move beyond the easy and comfortable to a life that has commitment, meaning, and purpose.
