Define 'rich'

"It ain't so much trouble to get rich as it is to tell when we have got rich."
-- Josh Billings


How do you define ‘rich’?
If you want greater wealth, what does that mean for you? A large annual income? If so, how large? A beautiful home? Health? Security? Happiness? To be in service?
Get really specific about what would bring you a rich life. There are no right and wrong answers here. Don’t judge your desires. Just dig deep to discover what it is that you really want. If you want things, explore what qualities of life those things represent to you.
"No one can tell whether they are richer or poor by turning to their ledger. It is the heart that makes a person rich. One is rich according to what one is, not according to what one has."
-- Henry Ward Beecher


"If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed."
-- Edmund Burke
