Authenticity over Assets

You are not your money nor your assets…some of the lamest people I know are also the richest..ironic. Whilst money can supply you with material abundance it can't provide you with an internal compass.values and morals butchered by the numerical safety net that is your (or your parents) bank account. Strip all of that away and who are you? What are you?

Do you actually even have your own sense of style, or sense of pleasure, or are you just consuming what the latest catalogue showed you was on trend? Do you know the layers of yourself that make you special and unique, or do you hide the facade of emptiness inside you behind your designer shades... 

Money isn't everything and it certainly doesn't dictate taste, class nor richness in life. Being really rich requires one to have a grounded sense of self, not an inflated ego that matches the "vibe" of your Chanel bag. Being nice is one of the most attractive qualities someone can have.

Compassion, humility and community building are the foundations of what makes a society thrive, but instead we have traded it for a cold off putting look that signals to others "I'm too cool for you" or "My money makes me of a certain caliber". 

At the end of the day we came into this world with nothing, and we will leave it with nothing. So think, what do you want to leave behind as a legacy… a couple of handbags watches and material objects…or do you want to leave behind a legacy of unforgettable energy, love and a strong sense of self. 

Ask yourself uncomfortable questions. Sit in the silence of your thoughts. Move past the conditioning and limits the older generations has imposed on us. Free will is FREE and in today's transaction driven world many people seem to forget that... Be the one to embrace it.
