Pursue of Wealth
In our relentless pursuit of financial prosperity, we often fall into the trap of equating wealth solely with tangible assets such as money, property, and material possessions.
Unfortunately, this narrow perspective neglects the priceless treasures that define the essence of our existence – intangible wealth.
It is essential to recognize the immense value of intangible elements such as familial bonds, friendships, health, and personal fulfillment, which contribute to genuine happiness and overall well-being.
What is Intangible Wealth?
Contrary to popular belief, wealth encompasses more than just wealth amassed through financial success. Intangible wealth consists of non-physical assets that cannot be quantified in monetary terms.
It encompasses the harmonious relationships we share with our loved ones, the sense of purpose and fulfillment derived from meaningful work, our mental and physical well-being, personal growth, and the memories we create throughout our lives.
Difference between Tangible and Intangible Wealth
While tangible wealth can provide immediate gratification and temporary happiness, it often proves inadequate in sustaining long-term fulfillment.
Material possessions deteriorate, financial markets fluctuate, and external circumstances change. On the other hand, intangible wealth embraces those elements that remain resilient in the face of adversity and form the foundational pillars of personal contentment.
Intangible Wealth in Relationships
One of the most significant dimensions of intangible wealth lies within the realm of relationships. By nurturing sincere friendships, fostering close-knit family ties, and cultivating meaningful connections, we can establish a support network that adds immeasurable value to our lives. Investing time and energy into building strong relationships ultimately leads to a sense of belonging, emotional support, and an enriched perspective on life.
Intangible Wealth and Personal Growth
Another vital aspect of intangible wealth resides in our continuous personal growth and self-actualization. By identifying our passions, goals, and purpose in life, we can set our sights on achieving genuine fulfillment and leaving a lasting positive impact. Engaging in lifelong learning, exploring new experiences, and pushing beyond our comfort zones all contribute to intangible wealth, enriching our lives and broadening our horizons.
Intangible Wealth and Well-Being
A cornerstone of intangible wealth lies in our physical and mental well-being. The state of our health influences our ability to enjoy life’s pleasures, pursue our dreams, and engage fully in relationships. Nurturing our physical health through regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate rest is crucial, as is prioritizing our mental well-being through mindfulness practices, stress management techniques, and seeking support when needed.
How to achieve Intangible Wealth?
To achieve true intangible wealth, it is essential to strike a harmonious balance between tangible and intangible resources. While financial stability is necessary, it should not overshadow the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment in relationships, personal growth, and well-being.
Consider the following actions:
- Reassess Your Priorities: Reflect upon your values and identify what truly matters to you beyond material possessions. Emphasize the importance of relationships, personal growth, and well-being in your life.
- Invest in Relationships: Dedicate time and effort to nurture your relationships. Show genuine care, empathy, and appreciation for your loved ones. Create enduring memories and strengthen the bonds that enrich your life.
- Pursue Personal Growth: Explore your passions, set meaningful goals, and commit to lifelong learning. Engage in activities that challenge you and contribute to personal development. Embrace change and embrace the opportunity for continued growth.
- Prioritize Well-Being: Adopt a holistic approach to your well-being by prioritizing both physical and mental health. Incorporate regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and adequate rest into your routine. Cultivate mindfulness practices, seek professional help when needed, and surround yourself with positive influences.
Reminder of Real Life
In our pursuit of wealth, let us not lose sight of the true essence of a fulfilled life.
By recognizing the significance of intangible wealth and incorporating it into our priorities, we can achieve lasting happiness and contentment.
The treasures of family, friends, health, and personal purpose are immeasurable, and by embracing them, we unlock the true meaning of wealth.
Strive for a harmonious balance between tangible and intangible resources, and you will undoubtedly embark on a fulfilling and prosperous journey towards genuine rich and abundant living.

Money just buy you the chance of freedom but can’t buy back time. In life, there is no reset button. Time is limited but money is not.
When you are young and working, you exchange time for money. When you are old, you can have lots of money but you can’t buy time back, especially the things that you have missed (your strong health, time with young child) while busying striking out in career.
Your kids grew up and they no longer need you to accompany them. They no longer want to sit on your lap to share/do things with you…all these time you spent in your 9 to 6 or even longer cubicles…can the money that you have earned by you back these?
We always thought we have more time with our old parents, but we are wrong. Time with them is ticking away every day. One day it will suddenly be gone. There is no regret medicine, no reset in time. Gone is gone and cannot come back. No matter you are billionaires or millionaires, you cannot reset this.
We always thought that we have more time with our spouse every day, but we are wrong. One day they will be gone too. When you read this, please go tell your spouse that you love him/her and he or she is the best thing that you ever had in your life.
Love your life daily. You have one less day with your spouse, parents, children and yourself. Time is ticking away.
