$1M or $10M - Which would you rather have?

Q?  Which would you rather have?

  1. A: $1M home in a neighborhood of $500,000.00 homes, or 
  2. A: $10M home in a neighborhood of $20M homes? 

 

The answer is obvious, be happy with what you have.  I know, that was not a choice up above.  But that is the correct answer. 

 

Zero doubt that if you had the $10M home and it was the least expensive home in your neighborhood, you would not be happy.  And that is silly, because you are living in a $10M home.  That has to be a pretty outrageous proposition right there, including the fact that you can afford the taxes. 

 

And zero doubt if you owned the $1M home, the most expensive house in the neighborhood, you would still want more.  You would want to be living in a more expensive home and neighborhood. 

 

How about this?  Just be happy with what you have.  That way you get to answer yes to both possibilities.  And you should be happy in either house – there are billions of humans that don’t have a house, or indoor plumbing, or HVAC, or a refrigerator.  Remember your levels of blessing you wake up with each day. 

Level 1 Blessings

Level 2 Blessings 

Level 3 Blessings

Level 4 Blessings

 

Remember to smile too.  Whoever or whatever knocks on your [life's] door should be greeted by the biggest smile and the warmest hug.  You already have it all.   

 

Wishes for another great day, 

Warm Hugs and Big Smiles too,
