$1M or $10M - Which would you rather have?
January 17, 2023

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, 

David/

Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/
