1 - A healthy sense of self worth.

For example in 2004 I bought a house I could not afford in the suburbs and went to live there alone.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but one of the things that weighed in om my decision was that I saw a show on TV where the girl gets a marriage proposal right after buying her home. She called it Murphy's law.

So I thought I could buy the marriage proposal too, instead of doing the internal work required, I though my self worth would come from the house.

It bankrupted me.

2 - The real love of a man or a woman.

Continuing with the story above, "the real internal work" for me was to realize that to attract the coolest man in the world I had to become the coolest woman.

3- Peace of mind.

I've seen many a wealthy entrepreneur get lost in love or sex addiction, gambling or work for work's sake. When money becomes the focus rather than the consequence of our healthy inner choices it turns into depression or worse.
