wishes to be.”
Voltaire, French author and philosopher

anything worthwhile are,

third, common sense.”

Have stick-to-itiveness in the things that you do, work your way through the challenges and obstacles you encounter along the way. Stick to what your doing and don’t quit.


Never start a day that hasn’t been successfully completed in your mind.


Think through your day and apply good old fashion common sense before you take any action or speak.

Wealth is in the Appreciation

Motivational Power Quote

Wealth is in the Appreciation
“Wealth is not his that has it,
but his that enjoy it.”
Ben Franklin, American statesman


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Wealth is in the appreciation


True wealth comes from what we enjoy and in our relationships, not from what we have.


The person that enjoys their life has great wealth.


The riches people in the world are those who enjoy their lives and have an appreciation for what they have in their lives.


They strive for success without complaining about what they don’t have. They remain focus on enjoying the day and working for their future success. They are appreciative for their successes and what they accomplish.


The accumulation of material things alone will not insure happiness.


A person’s attitude about what they have will determine if they enjoy the fruits of their efforts and their life.


Wealth is in the appreciation of living a full life and is in direct proportion to the gratitude for the people that we have in our lives.
