Wealth Isn’t About What You Have — It’s About Who You Become

Wealth: What So Many Seek — But So Few Understand

Most people think wealth is obvious.

It’s the mansion, the car, the designer suit, the glint of a diamond under a chandelier.
It’s the man who walks past you with tailored shoes, not the man sleeping under cardboard on the sidewalk.

So we chase it.
We break ourselves trying to climb ladders that lean on the wrong walls.
And in the process, we forget what real wealth even looks like.

What Wealth Is Not

Wealth is not your bank balance.
It’s not your square footage.
It’s not the brand name stitched inside your jacket.

Because the simple truth is this:

Some of the richest souls on earth sleep in modest homes and wear clothes you’d overlook.
And some of the most bankrupt souls drive Ferraris.

What Wealth Is

Wealth is waking up healthy — with a body that moves, breathes, and still has time left.
It’s having people to come home to, and people who would notice if you didn’t.
It’s being surrounded by souls who care about you for reasons that have nothing to do with your net worth.

Real wealth is being satisfied with what you have, grateful for the small things, while still burning to grow — not out of greed, but so you can give more, lift more, and help build a better world.




This Doesn’t Mean Complacency

Being content doesn’t mean being stagnant.
It doesn’t mean folding your hands and settling for scraps.
We should all strive to grow — financially, emotionally, spiritually.
But if your goal is purely greed, purely to show off?
If it’s all to stack numbers you’ll never even spend, or to parade status before hollow eyes?

Then you’re on the wrong road.
Because growth should always tie back to the common good, to your community, to the unseen people your life can quietly lift.

The Law That Governs All This

Why should the universe hand you the wealth you’re chasing?

Why do you even believe you deserve it?

These aren’t small questions. They’re everything.

Because here’s life’s quiet law:

You will only ever receive what you’ve truly paid for — not in dollars, but in who you are.
You will only ever receive in proportion to what you’re willing to give.

 

It’s Bigger Than Material Giving

Generosity isn’t just writing checks.
It’s living with a spirit that looks for small chances to serve.
Sometimes helping an old woman across the street counts for more than a millionaire’s ten-grand donation he never feels.

Be of good and sound mind.
Live in a spirit of giving.
And watch how life finds ways to give right back.


So Ask Yourself…

✅ Who are you — really?
✅ Why should life entrust you with more?
✅ What are you giving the world, beyond what the world can give you?

The answers to these aren’t tucked inside your wallet.
They’re found deep in your character.

Why Caribbean Unity Is Our Most Urgent Resource

The Screen Age Abyss: Our Unnerving New Era

Image
Imagine us waking up one morning to realize humanity has fully transformed—not into cyborgs, but into hypnotized zombies , eternally glued to screens. This isn’t sci-fi. We’re already living the dawn of a dangerous new era: The Screen Age . 🧭 Introduction I sat in meditation yesterday when the truth struck me like a thunderbolt. We’ve entered a horrifying new era—one defined not by industrial might or global conflict, but by collective screen addiction . Everywhere I look, people are trapped: scrolling at dinner, walking down the street, even parenting through devices. No warnings, no logic, no intervention seems to work. This is more than behavior—it’s a societal metamorphosis—and it’s wreaking havoc on our brains, relationships, and cultures. In this blog and my next book, I will lay bare what the Screen Age is doing to us. First, we define the era—and then we confront the chilling scientific, social, and psychological fallout. There is nothing cute about this image 1. “What Is the...
