Darius, the word wealth comes from the old English word “weal” which meant “well-being”. So in the old days, to have great wealth meant to being in a state of well-being.

Somewhere through time, we conflated money with the meaning that comes from living purposefully and directing our intention and the investment of our time to that which nourishes us.

May you have “great wealth” in the oldest sense of the word.

Thank you for this essential essay.

That’s a great take, James. Thanks for sharing this.

Money is good in life, YET sharing a laugh with good friends on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon.

That's MUCH better, because you can't buy that...!
