Hello WA Family, Back from My wedding Anniversary trip to Bali Indonesia, What a fantastic trip it was, and an eye opener to how the other world lives and functions.

I heard it every day how bad things are in the world,media comments on what is trending and what is the latest and greatest drama affecting who and what you have, how you wear your hair, or you latest abb shaping jeans. Terror attacks and The latest cancer cause or what you should or should not eat? How lucky are you?

Think about what you have and achieved to date in your life? are you happy? have you reached your full potential? Focus on what you have and what you do not!!!

Time to check the boxes on your list and and see where you are in your grand plan of achievement to financial security. Time to open your eyes to what you have, and what you can do to reach your full potential. In my own pursuit of financial security I can say I have been wealthy, been Poor,and gained wealth again. that's wealth in myself. being content within what I am today. and what I have achieved in my life.

I met an 86 year old gentleman in Bali, in a remote village north of Kuta, never traveled, never seen The internet nor was he aware of the current world crisis in Terror or Famine, He Had his basic meals each day, he prayed daily, and was content. He lived a sparse existence, crude bed and meals of rice and meats, the occasional tourist bringing a treat or a few coins. He was such a delight to sit and talk with, in broken English he told me about what life is to him?.

" A man or woman has to have a balance in their life, to be accepted and be worthy of the people that have a faith and trust in them. To be respected in every thing they attempt or succeed to complete. To attempt and fail is not an option, clear thinking and focus on the ultimate reward is everything. " trust your own inner thoughts and never be afraid of negative comments, it builds you stronger and guides your wisdom for future challenges" WOW!!!!!!!

I am Humbled to the extent I offer him a ride into town and ask can I get him anything? the response was " I have everything I need, please give to those that need it more than I, give your energy and knowledge to those that can benefit from your own experience" WOW...

In meeting this beautiful person I now know where I am in my journey in life and what I want to achieve. I have a clear vision on what I have and don't have. I have everything to gain and Nothing to loose, I have a great support network in WA and a website that is a passion. I hope that in reading this blog you take time out to reflect on where you are in your journey at WA and especially,where you are in your life. Thank you for reading my blog.

Yours In Health - John

Thanks for sharing. It sure makes you think. I don't think a day goes by without hearing someone complain about something. This man has nothing & he's happy & content.

I look around me and see fat people with designer clothing, cigarettes, mobile phones, satellite television with huge screens etc etc who claim to be poor......................poor, how can they even begin to believe that when there is deprivation on a grand scale elsewhere?

Sometimes you wonder if we'd be better off within ourselves if we all lived like this gentleman but we are fed the "western" belief of acquisition, materialism and so forth so it would be alien to us.

Although I've had better and worse times in my life, I can't hold my hand and pretend to have ever been poor.......there is just no concept of it in comparison.

so true mark, it was a life changing experience and I am in awe of his lifestyle.

Great comments. I spent 6 years living in East Africa and understand a lot of what you are saying - people with nothing but happy and content in their place - while still aiming for better. Can be challenging indeed.
