What is True Wealth? by Dan Lok
August 15, 2007
I talk about how August is a great month for reflection. I spent time reflecting on my past and where I am today.
I am truly grateful for everything I have done, all that I achieved, and the people that helped me a long the way.
I remember reading a book by Sir John Templeton (a billionaire), that talks about the meaning of “true wealth.”
In the book, Templeton talks about what true wealth means. True wealth is “gratuitude.” It doesn’t matter what you make; whether you make ten dollars, ten thousand dollars, ten million dollars a year… if you are grateful you have true wealth.
I know in my signature I say, “Money Talks, Bullshit Walks,” and I am sure people think all I care about is making money.
Honestly, I believe the EXACT opposite.
If you knew me personally, you would know I don’t believe money is THE most important part of life. Your health, peace of mind, freedom… these are all MORE important than money alone.
BUT…
Money does make your life easier, it provides you freedom, and it allows you to remain healthy and put food on your table. While money may not be the MOST important item in one’s life, it is very important to take car of your finances.
You MUST set a goal to become financially independent, so you do not have to worry about money ever again.
How can you what you do if you have to worry about paying the bills? When you do not have to worry about money, then you ar efree to focus on tasks that are more important to you.
So, I would definitely say I am grateful for what I have, but I do not plan to stop making money. I still have goals, huge massive financial goals, I want to achieve. I am just getting started, even as a multi-millionaire. There is so much I can do and learn.
If you have followed me for any length of time, you will know I am not static, I constantly learn. I encourage you to do the same to experience true wealth.
So, be grateful. I believe true wealth really is being grateful for what you have. Be grateful you have a house, you have a healthy family, and you feel ok.
I don’t want to get metaphysical on you, but when you are grateful, it is much easier to attract wealth to you and live an easier life.
