I work in a world most dream of living in. I used to dream of it as well. To never want for anything, never struggle or need anything. To never have to clean your own toilet!!! Who doesn’t think this would be great?
Me for starters. How I came to this is experience and perception. I have worked serving high net worth clients for over a decade now. I used to believe that having money would solve all my problems. Naïve I think. I have traveled the world, seen white sand beaches, turquoise waters, private villas, the worlds best hotels. Gone to places I never wanted to go, never knew the names of them. They are all lovely and amazing in ways I couldn’t have dreamed. I have sat in chairs older than my country and are worth more than my annual salary. Been given keys to estates worth more than I will earn in a life time. I am trusted, counted on, dependable.
As I sit in a french cafe finishing my dinner of ice cream, vanilla almond to be exact. It came in a cup of colored & mixed flavored chocolate with drizzled red and gold syrup across the plate. I didn’t know you sculpted chocolate in colors to make tulip shaped cups!
I am grateful, extremely grateful. I work a lot. It has cost me, the price has not been cheap. The lesson has been worth it.
I am. Perfect exactly as I am. Spiritual being, financially struggles, terminally single (so it seems) a small house, to many bills, a boy I miss, a puppy growing up without me. Both of them.
I know with my full plate the career choice I made for the right reasons years ago in another lifetime, was the absolute correct one.
I look in at a world I used to dream of living in. I wouldn’t trade it for anything today. My life with its joys, struggles, all of it. I think what is rich? Me? Absolutely, I look and know. I’ve got it all. Maybe not always going the same direction or at the perfect speed. At night when I thank god right before I sleep I know I have it all. I am grateful.
