Episode 191 - Measure Success By Gratitude, Not Net Worth

What if the way you think about money is the very thing stealing your peace? We take a hard look at trust, control, and the myth that more is automatically safer. By walking through four clear differences between a trust-centred life and a control-centred one, we map how gratitude reframes setbacks, how contentment defuses anxiety, and how generosity becomes strategy rather than sacrifice.

We start by challenging a reflex many of us carry: crediting ourselves for wins while blaming heaven for losses. From there, we explore why repetition matters—hearing the same truths in new contexts helps them sink from head to heart. Then we turn to contentment, the quiet power that lets you enjoy today without bargaining with tomorrow. If you’ve ever felt that “enough” keeps moving just out of reach, this conversation will hit home.

Careers and income get a reboot too. When you treat your job as a vessel and not the source, you stop chasing headlines and start building a life with margin. We unpack why parents often push “safe” fields, how that can misfire, and why the middle path—steady, sane, rooted in community—often wins. Finally, we land on giving. You’ll hear a gripping story about a caller seeking a single can of baby formula and the unexpected flood of donations that followed the few who said yes. It’s a living proof of a principle we’ve seen for years: open hands invite provision, closed fists invite scarcity.

If you’re ready to trade pressure for purpose and worry for wisdom, this one’s for you. Listen, reflect, and share it with someone who’s stuck on the treadmill of “more.” And before next season, grab The Garden of Emuna—or the Universal edition—so you can read along. If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what does “enough” mean to you?
