Maybe you don’t have as much money as you would like now but this should not stop you from enjoying and appreciating the wealth of others.
Recently I read a book called Self Investment by Orison Swett Marden the great success writer and founder of Success Magazine.
There is a chapter in Self Investment that I found to be especially inspiring entitled “Enjoying What Others Own.”

Enjoying What Others Own made me take stock of all the wealth that surrounds me in my hometown of San Antonio, Texas.
I am sure that where you live there is probably similar or even greater wealth around you but here are some examples of what I found to appreciate in my own neigborhood.
Here in San Antonio there are many libraries filled with thoughts from the greatest thinkers in the history of the world. You can access books, videos and recording free of charge.
I have discovered that the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Witte Museum both have days where you can tour the museums free of charge.
It is amazing to think that it is possible to see millions of dollars worth of art in person for free. All you have to do is show up and take allow yourself to appreciate the beauty.
San Antonio Icons such as the World Famous Alamo and The San Antonio River and The Historic Missions of San Antonio can be oberved free of charge.
You can walk and enjoy the beauty of historic neigborhoods such as The King William District or Olmos Park for free.
I don’t want to sound like an advertisement for San Antonio but I am just trying to get the point across that you are surrounded by wealth and beauty all around you wherever you are.
Remember that you do not have to own or possess or control things to be happy.
Try going window shopping at the mall and just enjoy the beauty and creativity of the products that you see without feeling the urge to possess them.
Or walk through a beautiful neigborhood and enjoy the houses and the scenery without feeling the urge to purchase them.
The next time you are feeling down. Take stock and feel grateful for the wealth of resources that surround you right now. This feeling of wealth and gratitude that you feel will serve to attract more wealth and beauty into your life.
