Reflective mood being Thanksgiving and a year older
today. Just want to share a thought.
The world struggles because the focus is wrong. The
president, congress and the Federal Reserve have it wrong. They think wealth is
created by adding liquidity to the economy.
QE has not made the economy grow or most people wealthier.
True wealth is created by helping other people. Washing
machines improved people’s lives and freed up time to spend with family.
Airplanes let us visit each other all over the world. Microwaves heat our food.
Bank’s being able to loan more debt? How has that improved
the world? Finance is not as important as building something, no matter how
small.
True wealth to most people is being able to share time with
family and friends on a holiday. Charity, volunteering and doing good are the
best examples of sharing real wealth.
So what am I thankful for today?
Being able to serve coffee and Danishes at church this
morning. May even wash some dishes.
Friends and family who are fighting and beating cancer.
Their struggles inspire and show the goodness of people/strangers helping them.
Being able to read inspiring thoughts from other writers
encouraging us to be a little bit better every day. Not only the famous like
Reverend’s Schuler & Olsteen, but friends like Reverend’s Steve Cuff and
James Richards teaching faith.
The few words of peace, love and understanding I am able to
share. Example my chapter redefining success not as money earned, bur raising
good kids as more important. The words may be read by only a few people, but
they will reach someone who needs them.
All the engineers I have been able to teach this year how to
be better engineers. Always learn something when I teach.
It is not the gifts or possessions that make me thankful today.
It is the life I get to share. Please share some of your blessing today and
enjoy today. Lets build real wealth.
