In
terms of dollars, I sure don’t have money to burn, but in terms of real riches,
I am a wealthy man. I am actually an heir – a beneficiary of a boundless and
inexhaustible fortune. I have access, 24/7, to resources that can keep my life
continually healthy and happy. These funds are not dollars, not coins or cash
or any kind of material currency. No, my wealth is the wealth that all of us
share – the wealth of limitless inner qualities. All of us – though we
sometimes fail to see it – have a treasure chest inside us that’s spilling over
with qualities like caring and calmness and quietness and patience. We can
withdraw them at any time, and amazingly, the account instantly refills with
more than we withdraw. We amass more kindness the more we spend, and patience
produces more patience the more we practice it. This is the simple good fortune
of being alive. All of us, aware of it or not, are lucky in this wonderful way.
We are all the fortunate heirs of a vast inner fortune that lasts forever.
