How to find your Riches!

Life is beautiful. It has always been beautiful. The world is rich.  The riches of the world are there for us all to inherit. I must say I am floating in riches. Its amazing to live a life of a rich person. Its been totally fulfilling. Allow me to share with you how I found my riches. At the end of this article I believe you too shall know how to find your riches. 

In the years between 2009- 2013 I experienced a period of pain and agony. I was in a state of total confusion and felt I had reached my end. It took the gesture of a total stranger to get me to live a positive life. She surrounded me with happiness . Her efforts helped me make it through the period. God sent me a guardian angel direct from heaven.  Once I was out of it, I decided to be the same for someone. I had a mission and a vision to fulfill. The mission was to impact the lives of people in a positive way. The vision was to be surrounded by people who are happy and without pain. In order to work towards my vision and fulfill my mission, I launched a blog in the year 2013. The blog was my plan to deliver my mission and consequently fulfill my vision. The blog needed to reflect the mission and the vision hence the name "Daily Life lessons and Inspiration" . It was to be an everyday walk. It also meant the blog had to fulfill a purpose hence the introductory statement of "Each day I live is an opportunity to learn something from all that I come across from people to things. There is just so much to Inspire, Motivate and Challenge us. Journey with me as I open us all to that world." 

This month has marked 5 years of blogging because in the year 2017 I didn't write a single article. The first article I shared in July of 2013 had 16 views. It wasn't my original composition. It had an inspiring message and that was the idea. Thereafter I wrote an article in December this time my original composition and it had 48 views. That month I was charged and wrote quite a number , I didn't look back, the views grew. This year has witnessed the highest number of views in an article and feedback. Readers have openly shared feedback. The feedback has helped me realize the mission I had when I launched the blog is being achieved. The vision is coming to be as more and more persons are being directed to live a happy life. This is how I have found my riches. The world is rich and for us to inherit. 

While for some to be rich they need to be making money, my riches have come through purposing to fulfilling my mission and vision. When the mission and vision was coming to force I was all alone. None of the critics were there. I had the foundation and that was my focus. Critics have been there both positive and negative but I have purposely focused on the mission and vision. That is how I have come to find my riches. 

How do we miss out on our riches?

By now you do realize that the riches I am talking about aren't purely money oriented . I am talking about wealth that is from within. I want to believe that when we decided to get married, there was a mission and vision. When you decided to start a business, there was a mission and vision. There is always what one sees before they engage in something. I don't believe we just coincidentally find ourselves somewhere , with something or someone. Its through the mission and vision we have. Unfortunately, we get side tracked. Someone who wasn't present during the formulation of the vision and mission says something and we follow them. Something that wasn't there during the vision and mission comes in and we focus on it instead of analyzing its relevance to our mission and vision. That is how we end up with a failed marriage , business and so on. 

Before listening to anyone saying anything about your life , remember your vision and mission. If it doesn't fit discard it. Don't allow anyone or anything to side track you from your vision and mission. Live your life and only change the plan to get to your vision and fulfill your mission if it is not a distraction. My partner has decided they are not going to talk to me. Was that in my mission? No. Then find a way to get back to the mission and vision. Someone thinks my dress could have been made better by their tailor. Did the dress impress me when I took it? Yes , wear it proudly. Someone thinks I should be earning from my dancing. Was that in my mission? No, Well tell them you are happy dancing for free. When the time comes to earn money you shall seek their advice. Learn to recognize that which drives you closer to your vision and that which drives you further from it.
