I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

~ Lao Tzu (600 BC-531 BC)

Your Greatest Treasures

Your greatest treasures in life will remain with you through all of life's circumstances. No matter which way the wind blows, they will set the sail of your heart toward love and hope.

Like calm waters beneath stormy seas, the most joyful treasures bring the realization of peace and authentic happiness that cannot be disturbed.

There are many kinds of treasures hidden in the heart. A few examples are...

  • Favorite times spent in purpose-filling activities that make your heart sing...


  • Nature and the lessons it teaches...


  • Love for the countryside, it's hills, shorelines, colors, and peacefulness ...


  • Love for the city, it's movement, colors, sounds, and excitement...


  • Travels to places that hold special meanings for you...


  • Uniqueness and value you've contributed through something you created...


  • Quiet time in meditation...


  • Sharing time with children...


  • Acts of kindness and compassion that have changed lives and saved lives...


  • Unexpected encounters that lead to dreams fulfilled...

What are your most joyful treasures? The happiness your treasures bring will not depend upon material possessions. You cannot buy your greatest treasures.

When you remain aware of the treasures that follow you all the days of your life, you will begin to feel an authentic joy throughout times of sunshine and rain.

Count your blessings today—your greatest treasures. Name each one with a feeling of gratitude. You will begin to feel a deep peace and joy that will not ever leave your heart.
