Though
I’m far from being a wealthy retiree, it’s reassuring to know that, barring an
absolute disaster, there will always be enough resources available to supply my
basic needs – and I’m not just talking about material resources. Yes, I have
set aside enough money to keep myself moderately sheltered and safe, but I also
have another supply of trustworthy resources – one that can’t be exhausted. In
addition to my IRAs and Social Security and scattered investments, I also have the
inexhaustible endowment of inspiring thoughts. When a need arises, there will
be sufficient money available, as well as – and just as important – sufficient
inspiration. I will be able to access both dollars and encouraging ideas. In
fact, while I’m only modestly comfortable financially, I am, like all of us, fabulously
wealthy with enriching ideas. They overflow before me, always, and all I have
to do is notice them and say “Welcome”. They’re a fountain of invisible resources,
these everlasting affirmative thoughts that are always swift to stand me up and
show me the way.
