How much internal wealth do you have?

External wealth can be easily displayed for all the world to see, but internal wealth is much more difficult because it’s impossible to see. But unlike physical things, you can carry internal wealth with you wherever you go.

What is internal wealth?

Internal wealth is the abundance of kindness and good feelings you can generate for others. It’s an infinite well of generosity, that’s available to you always. It’s feelings and emotions that although cannot be seen, can be felt by those in your presence.

What would the world look like if we all spent just as much energy cultivating internal wealth as we do external wealth?

Just imagine what that collective mission would look like and how much better of we would all be.

Now you might argue that it sounds nice, but not possible, and to some extent, you might be right. But what if there was a compromise? What if for every hour you work towards building external wealth, you commit to spending a few minutes building internal wealth too?

Maybe you can add building internal wealth to your daily to-do or schedule just like you would any other appointment or meeting. It could be something as simple as taking a couple of minutes to send a kind email or share a few words of kindness with a friend or colleague.

So, as you go off into your day today, working towards building external wealth, give away some of your internal wealth. And remember, the best thing about your internal wealth is you have full control over it and can spend as much as you want to.
