Rich

JOYPEACE

==== I once asked my Aunt, Dora Jane, who raised me as if she were my mother where we stood on the spectrum between rich and poor. I said, "I know we live well and have money, but we don't have millions of dollars. What does that make us?" She responded by saying, "I beg your pardon! We are rich, we have always been rich and we will always be rich!" I responded, "But Auntie, we don't have money like the Getty's?" She interrupted me and said as she pointed to her heart, and then to her head, "Rich is in here and up here. You will always be rich in heart and mind. If you have a lot of money that makes you wealthy. If you have no money, that makes you broke. You see, richness is a state of mind; not how much money you have. It does not matter how much you have that counts in life. It's what you do with what you have than counts. And so long as you remember that you will always be rich." ~Jake Ehrlich III~
