Hello, dear reader. Namasthe.
Welcome to the another thought provoking, transformative blog of voice of chittan.
Today, I want to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you—a reflection, if you will, about how we define wealth and what truly matters in this short journey called life.
Let’s begin with a question: How wealthy are you?
At first glance, the answers might center around what society recognizes—your job title, the money in your account, the properties you own, the skills you’ve mastered, or the awards you’ve won. These are the things people notice, right? But let me ask you another question: What happens if you lose them?
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? The relentless pursuit of things that society tells us are important. The best job, the biggest house, the loudest applause. We’re so focused on climbing this imaginary ladder that we forget to ask: What happens when we reach the top?
Will there be peace? Or will it just be another ladder to climb?
Here’s the truth, my friend: chasing external success without internal growth is no use..
Imagine a life where your possessions, titles, and achievements disappear overnight. Will people still acknowledge you? Will you still feel valued? Some of us might answer yes...congratulations..you are on your way..Go ahead😇...However, Most of us fear that the answer might be no. But here’s where I want to challenge you—true wealth is far beyond material possessions or external recognition.
Real wealth lies in transformation.
It’s in the contentment you feel waking up each day, in the mindfulness with which you live every moment. It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone, trying something new, and doing it without fear or judgment. It’s about living with ease—not laziness, but a flow that aligns with your purpose.
Because the true Wealth Lies Within..Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Strip away the layers of roles, titles, and possessions. What remains? You. The real you.
And that is where your wealth resides—in the depth of your heart, in the stillness of your mind, and in the courage of your spirit.
Wealth is in waking up every morning with gratitude.
Wealth is in embracing your imperfections and loving yourself anyway.
Wealth is in cherishing relationships, forgiving easily, and letting go of grudges
Think about it: life has its phases.
The First Phase: A race to gain ranks, scores, and academic accolades.
The Second Phase: The hustle to settle—earning money, chasing promotions, and gaining social validation, often at the cost of health and peace.
The Fourth Phase: A time of mere existence, when physical vitality fades and we reflect on the paths we’ve walked.
But what about the phase we’re living now? This phase, whether you’re in your 20s, 40s, or beyond, is your chance to redefine wealth.
A Unique Definition
As I’ve said in my previous blog, every life is unique. Your definition of wealth might differ from mine. For some, it could mean inner peace; for others, it’s about relationships, creativity, or spiritual growth. Whatever it is, define it early. Recognize that time is finite, and true wealth lies in living with mindfulness and bliss.
Letting Go of Fear
Take this moment to reflect:
Are you living to impress others, or to truly experience life?
Are you making decisions out of fear or love?
Try something you’ve always hesitated to do. It could be as small as learning a new skill, forgiving someone, or spending a day disconnected from devices. The magic lies in these small steps.
So , hope you agree if I say this....
Wealth isn’t about how much we have but how much we’ve become. It’s about how deeply we live each second, how willingly we embrace change, and how fearlessly we step into the unknown.
We spend so much time worrying about the future or regretting the past that we forget the magic of the present moment. This second, right here, is all you have. Use it wisely. Laugh louder. Love deeper. Live fully.
Let me share a thought with you, dear friend—all our beginnings are different. Some of us start life with the warmth of a golden spoon, while others begin with the resilience born from humble origins. Yet, here’s the beauty of it: our journeys are uniquely our own, and so is our definition of peace and wealth.
Comparison: The Thief of Joy
It’s tempting, isn’t it? To look at someone else’s life and wonder why theirs seems smoother, shinier, or more fulfilling. But the truth is, you’re only seeing a part of their story—the highlight reel, not the struggles behind the scenes.
Never compare your peace with theirs. What brings contentment to one might mean nothing to another. Your wealth—whether it’s love, peace, health, or joy—may look different, and that’s exactly how it’s meant to be.
Your Definition of Wealth
Pause for a moment. Ask yourself:
What makes me truly happy?
What fills my heart with peace?
What makes me feel alive?
For some, wealth might be financial stability; for others, it’s health, relationships, or personal growth. Some find peace in solitude, while others thrive in community. There is no universal answer, and that’s the magic of life.
Celebrate Your Journey
Your background, your struggles, your triumphs—they’ve shaped you into the person you are today. Instead of longing for someone else’s path, celebrate your own. Every step, every challenge, every victory is uniquely yours.
Remember, life isn’t a race to see who has the most. It’s a journey to discover what matters most to you. Define your wealth, embrace your journey, and live unapologetically in alignment with your truth.
So, my friend, I urge you: Redefine your wealth today.
stop waiting for the “right time.” The right time is now. Right here. This breath.
Live mindfully. Live intentionally. Live boldly.
With love,
❤❤ Voice of Chittan
