Take Action: Measure Your Wealth

By
Real Estate Agent with Big Block Realty 858.232.8722 CA BRE# 01261476

 

Measure wealth not by the things you have,

but by the things you have for which

you would not take money."


An Unknown Author

 

Your action for today is to count all those things

you have in your life that are priceless.

 

Thomas J Nelson REaltor San Diego

 

You know the old question:

 

"If your home was on fire,

what would you grab on the way out?"

 

 

 

The last 10 years of my life, despite some major life challenges

and set  backs, I've mostly been truly happy.

That has lead me to this answer to that question:

 

Thomas Kinkade Wailea Chapel

From my heart and my gut...

My Bride, My Son and My Dog

and if there were time, maybe...

the painting in our living room of the church

where my bride and I were married.

 

 

 

That's it. 

 

 

There's literally nothing I own I can't replace

or if irreplaceable (like photos),

                        I have my memories.Thomas J Nelson REALTOR La Jolla

 

That's a good life.

Not perfect.

But a good life.

 

"If your home was on fire,

what would you grab on the way out?"

 

 

 

Design an extraordinary day!

Hi Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor e-Pro, CRS, RCS-D, Vets - this is some food for thought and the question begs us to declare what we really value.

Hello Thomas - moments become memories, mementos are merely objects.  While they can be nice and can provide joy - they are material, definitely replaceable.
