I am of a very small percent of the world, probably less than one percent, that live a wealthy and privileged lifestyle. I consider myself extremely lucky, and I try as hard as I can to not take it for granted. Obviously I do take my wealth for granted some, because I have a blog, extra clothes, extra food, extra toys, extra rooms, and basically extra wealth.
This lifestyle can be sickening when I truly evaluate it. Though truly evaluating something you live in is difficult. Either way, my recognition of my exceeding wealth is an important step for me. I have to use my conscience as a mechanism to keep me grounded. Living the good life is enjoyable, but achieving the sublime is a goal worth suffering for.
So to define my personal wealth, I must throw out my check book. I have to erase the societal definition of what I have.
I don't think I know I how to do that.
Yet even so, look out world. I'm coming for you. My personal wealth and my personal success as top priorities.
