My One Million Point Blog and a Kendama

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

kendamaWhen I post this particular blog and bring it to life at its publishing origination spot -- which is part of the community of Active Rain, a meeting spot of thousands of real estate agents across the country -- this particular blog will raise my personal point level on Active Rain to that of a millionaire. Not a millionaire in the sense of winning a payment of $100,000 per year for ten years, which isn't really all that much money when you look at what being a millionaire really means these days. It's not enough to be a millionaire anymore. Now, people aspire to being a billionaire or a multi-billionaire. When is enough, well, enough?

When you're happy, I'd say. When you have no complaints about your health. When you're not worried about keeping a roof over your head or food on the table. When all of your loved ones, including your pets, are cared for and taken care of and happy as well. When you wake up with a smile on your face. Simplify. Life doesn't have to be complicated.

Read more on my professional blog today about this topic in a post called: What Do You Know About a Kendama?

LOL - your Kendama story was funny too, but I didn't feel like commenting over there.  I hope the poor kid liked the toys.

OK, there is no way I can possibly say you're welcome to each and every person who stopped by to say congratulations, so you'll have to consider this entry my acknowledgment. After all, I cannot reach tall buildings in a single bound. I can barely make it across the room some days.

Hi Elizabeth,

first and foremost a big congratulations!!

I believe, that besides happines, joy, safety and securing some economic parameters, self actualization is the jewel in the crown of achievements! This includes all of the above and on an additional level the intuition of being of service on all levels and offering on a humanistic level a fair degree of compassion, contentment, empathy and striving for universal abundance, regardless. Thank you for posting, to your success!
