I was riding the bus today.  I nearly never do, but I was today.  So I used the time to listen to a podcast.

The fellow was speaking about wealth and generosity and more.  He shared a few statistics about wealth: If your household income is over $40 000, you’re in the top 4% of the world.  If it’s over $50 ooo, you jump right into the top 1% of the world, the richest people on the planet.

Yet we never FEEL rich.

How does that work?

He proposed a very simple theory–we never feel rich because most of us spend a lot more time thinking about what we don’t have than about what we do have.

And that leads us away from contentment.

And that isn’t the direction I want to be walking.
