I agree that many people exploit the concept of getting 'rich quick' and are focusing on the wrong steps to financial freedom. I'm committed to a journey of financial freedom, but for me that doesn't mean being rich, it means having control over where my life leads. Thanks for this concept on giving and its importance in the equation to being rich. .-= Ariel´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.365daystofinancialfreedom.com/2009/11/03/review-of-free-online-password-storage-tool-clipperz-com/" rel="nofollow">Review of Free Online Password Storage Tools: Clipperz.com</a> =-.

It meant selling and/or disposing of EVERYTHING including my pets and what was not disposed of was shipped to the tune of R 40 000 which is a lot of money when you need all you can find desperately to settle into your new country of abode. Now, I doubt very much that I will ever get over my faithful doggy boys and I will always get teary when I think of them but as to my "stuff", it's amazing how a year has gone by and the things that I thought I could never live without are not even missed. I think that we view our "things" as testimony to who we are. I worked to accumulate them and so a dearth of them means I achieved nothing is the mindset. In the midst of all the trauma, I found a great little saying which went :"In order to bring in the new, you must dispose of the old". I have embraced it and I now live it. Most of what I brought with me was clothing and imagine my delight when I discovered that America has a "tall" size clothing!!??!! Nothing fitted me properly back home so all the clothing I brought with me has been given to goodwill and I now look slender and elegant in my new togs - I never could achieve that before. Whenever I have a twang of a heartstring over some item I am wanting to give to someone who could use it more than I could, I remember both the saying and my clothing experience which was proof of the saying's pudding so to speak. <abbr><em>Miechelle´s last blog post...<a href="http://thetransitionist.blogspot.com/2009/06/definition-of-success.html" rel="nofollow">THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS</a></abbr></em> I emigrated last year.

One normally equates getting rich to financially rich but there are so many ways to be "rich" besides $$ wise. I really loved today’s post.

We love to give to others, but I also find myself constantly struggling with contentment. It was a much easier concept to grasp when I was a kid. I've found it tougher to be satisfied with our circumstances since I've become a mom. I need a fresh dose of perspective once a week, if not once a day. <abbr><em>Dr Dolly´s last blog post...<a href="http://travelingwithbaby.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/health-happy-round-up-vaccine-awareness/" rel="nofollow">Health Happy Round-Up: Vaccine Awareness</a></abbr></em> wonderfully written, Nicole.
