What is Wealth?                                                                                                     Most people think of wealth as an abundance of material riches. In reality, wealth represents what we put our trust in and where we derive our strengths and abilities to help others. Perhaps this is what is meant in the Bible when it states, “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal them. Store your treasures in heaven where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” (Matthew 6:19-21)                                                                                               You have a choice–will you put your trust in worldly wealth, or will you get your strength from God? Will you hoard your material possessions or use your wealth to help and defend others? This blog will help you understand and use your wealth wisely. Listed are my top four forms of wealth.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Your wealth is a tool that can be used to help others. First you must determine what type of wealth you poccess. Your wealth can be material or non-material. You can use your money, talents, or skills to help others.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      1.Personal Values - Your values can be a be a greater wealth than monetary values. Your values can go a long way in helping people. When you present yourself in positive way and others pick up on and pass your values on to others, this a high level of wealth distribution.    2. Academic Wealth - Your knowledge or specialized knowledge  is wealth that can be shared to help people improve their lives.                3. Consciousness Wealth - Your conscious of external objects, facts, life, or awareness can be used to help many people have a better life.  4. Monetary Wealth - Your money can go a long way when used properlty. You can donate to worthy causes, help start businesses, help feed people, help get people elected to public offices, and many, many, other things that can have short and long term effects.                                                                                                                                               My point is, wealth comes in various forms and fashions, and can be used in many ways to make and influence changes in your household, community, and even the world. Therefore, most individuals have some type of wealth that they can contribute in order to make a difference.
