What is Wellth

Defining Wellth

When I think of Wellth, including the traditional form of wealth, the first word that comes to mind is “Abundance”.  However, unlike traditional wealth which is defined as an abundance of valuable possessions or money (thank you Oxford), Wellth as we are exploring is not related to possessions. Rather, I view Wellth as the abundance of the intangibles in life that bring us peace, love and joy.

Of course, these intangibles vary to some degree for each and every one of us… and yet I am confident that we are more similar than we are different.  In the end, it’s the little things like connecting with an old friend or making a new one; like celebrating a loved one’s success or being celebrated by those we love;  It’s going to bed knowing that you “showed up” in life and waking up excited to “show up” again. It’s the absence of guilt & shame, and the freedom from worry & anxiety.  In fact, we are always in the midst of an opportunity to gain more Wellth!

Wellth Surrounds Us

No matter where you are or what is happening in your life, Wellth is at your fingertips.  You simply need to claim what was always yours.  Similar to obtaining financial Wellth, through action and investment we can also foster more Wellth in our lives.  “Action” being that  thing you want to do, but resist for reasons only you truly know.  And “Investment” being the time we spend and whom we spend it with.  Are you investing in your future?  Do your actions align with your authentic desires? What actions can you take to cultivate more Wellth in your life?

Measuring Wellth

So how do we measure Wellth?  Great question! Luckily I have developed a short quiz to do exactly this.  If you would like to take the quiz, just read on.  Okay, here goes… Are you happy?  I mean, are you really happy?  Are you at peace with where you are in life?  Do you have intimate relationships in which you can truly be you?  Do you spend some time every day laughing? Is your mind at peace? Is their love in your heart? Is there joy in your spirit?

Okay, maybe my quiz doesn’t produce a score, but I hope you get the gist of it. The simple truth is,  I don’t need to give you a quiz, you already know.  Similar to all the personal questions of our lives, the answers are within.  Simply take inventory and be honest with yourself.  What are the intangibles that contribute to your Wellth? Do you have them in abundance?

Cultivating Wellth

I imagine that’s why you are here and why you have read this far.  So what are the next steps? The first step is clarity.  Clarity of what constitutes your building blocks of Wellth and clarity of those blocks currently in your life.  With clarity, the warrior can then formulate a plan (ongoing steps) and take decisive action.

As a Wellth coach, a large part of my work is in helping others find that clarity within, and then assisting them in creating meaningful action steps to work towards their new found vision.
