Value of Enrichment & Wealth
People want to talk about wealth and enrichment when it comes to money, but not necessarily when it comes to a spiritual aspect or perspective. How might one want to enrich their lives? Possessions, Esthetics, Money? What’s the value in that other than bragging rights, one’s own ego, or when flaunting it for attention? Value and Wealth can be gained by how we grow spiritually, and growing, seeing things as more than just an outlook of monetary wealth. People want to look at things from the perspective of what one doesn’t have. When finding other ways to enrich our lives, we find deeper meaning, putting those other things aside and finding that deeper perspective in things.
The simplest person can be full of wealth from spiritual growth and personal wealth rather than anything that can be gained materially or monetarily. That person can still gain from being productive and having a mindset of self-development to be the best person they could be, and that can give them value, enrichment, and wealth from that granted that they’re spending time with others. Also helping enrich both themselves and others just from the joy of doing that with the simpler part of life, with the experience, and who they’re with. But if they’re lacking all that, isn’t it just an action? Wouldn’t they be spiritually poor if they’re not getting what they need spiritually from that, and if they’re not, they’re not fulfilling a human need of purpose and socialization that helps us with spiritual and personal wellbeing. Sure some people have expensive hobbies, and they enjoy and appreciate it but an expensive hobby isn’t necessary for fulfilling those needs, but if the care and appreciation for the finer details and whatever encompasses the purpose and meaning behind that expensive hobby… it has value for you. But if the experience doesn’t hold any value to you, what’s the worth of it?
If we grow spiritually in our hobbies, this can be so much more. If someone is spiritually and emotionally in a good place in life, that’s a good place to be, and if a hobby helps you in that, all the better. You’re life has value and enrichment from that once that’s gained. What hobbies do you find valuable and may hold this meaning and purpose for you? Are there any groups that help you have a positive fulfillment of the human need to socialize and be around people? (Clubs for hobbies, friend groups, spiritual communities, community centers, classes or communities for physical fitness… or wherever else you may find it). If not, take some time to do something, maybe an event, club, or class, or one of the other things listed that will allow you to do something you’d like to do and write about it.
Value is what we hold dear, it’s the things that are important to us. If we grow as a person, and spiritually grow, and find that meaning… our lives will be enriched because of it. But that takes investment and time.
Experience, personal knowledge, personal growth, spiritual growth… if we’re not finding a sense of value, purpose, enrichment, goal, or meaning from it… It doesn’t have meaning to us. It’s quite possible that we could lose value, purpose, enrichment, goal, or meaning from our outlook on life, and in that, our ethics and morals could lose meaning and worth.
In a sense, the person who comes from nothing could have a value in what they’ve gained, and the person who comes from a broken past finds value in something greater. Both find value in what they’ve worked towards and the process of it. If it wasn’t for being in the chaos and wanting something better than where they were at, they might have never tried to find something better. Growth gave them value and wealth in that journey. We can’t forget where we came from.
What really has meaning to you? What has value? Where are you finding that wealth? Where do you have that enriching life? Are you walking around truly in a good place with yourself in those aspects, are you working on it, or are you only pretending to be doing well with this? And if you’re working on it, how are you working to improve in those areas?
Seeing the world as only corrupt is a perspective that can take away from one’s outlook on life.
Think about where you are… what might you hold dear? What truly means something to you? Where is your life actually enriched? Where are you finding value?
