Harmonic Wealth

Judy and I, along with some friends, had the pleasure of hearing James Arthur Ray, author of Harmonic Wealth and featured contributor to the Secret speak last night.

James' new book Harmonic Wealth is a the top of the best seller list. We haven't had a chance to read it yet, but are looking forward to getting our copy.

Last night James spoke about the components of Harmonic Wealth. He introduced harmonic wealth as not just financial wealth, but wealth in harmony of various parts of your life.

James writes that there are five pillars of Harmonic Wealth.

1. Financial Wealth--It's the money in your bank account...the wad of bills in your pocket...your stock portfolio..real estate holdings...or maybe even just the paycheck you'll pick up next Friday.

2. Relational Wealth--This is the state of your personal relationships (including that with yourself).

3. Intellectual Wealth--This is your wealth of knowledge. It's the combination of facts, skills, talents, and life experiences you built up and developed over the years. It's your understanding of how the physical world works.

4. Physical Wealth--This is the health and fitness of your body. What good is financial welath if you can't get around to enjoy it?

5. Spiritual Wealth--This is that hard-to-define, yet unmistakable-when-you-have-it kind of wealth. It's that (usually) untapped, yet incredibly powerful, almost magical kind of wealth. It's your connection to the rest of the universe and the way you tap into its power.

We found it a really interesting way at looking at your life. It really is all encompassing. Try sitting down and writing some goals or things you want in these categories. James had us do that last night and it was a great exercise.

Have a great day!
