Inspirational quotes from world leaders to inspire each one of us to take action and become a better version of ourselves. That’s as simple as this post gets.
However:
We split the quotes into five areas of wealth that an entrepreneur can work every single day.
“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.” – Henry David Thoreau
Thought starting this post with a quote about wealth is the best way to start a post which lists quotes on different types of wealth.
Life is a journey of attaining fulfilment in different types of wealth.
- Spiritual
- Emotional
- Physical
- Financial
- Social
At different stages of life, people tend to focus on different types of wealth.
Secret though:
Is to balance our energies around different types of wealth.
In this post, we are sharing a few quotes to inspire you to help with a deeper understanding and encourage you to take action to build wealth.
Spiritual Wealth
Spiritual wealth is only for old people. It is as much important for a 20-year-old as it is for a 70-year-old. If we keep building our spiritual wealth every day, it will help us improve our focus and concentration. More importantly, will help doing the business right way. Being spiritual does not mean we have to live poor financially or embrace austere or minimalistic lifestyle.

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object. – Ram Dass
How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. – Wayne W. Dyer
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul. – Swami Vivekananda
The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty — it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God. – Mother Teresa
Emotional Wealth
While spiritual wealth is the root of a tree, emotional wealth helps us to keep stable both in good and bad times. If we keep building our emotional wealth we will be prepared mentally to face any situation life throws at us. It will keep us focused on our journey.

Physical Wealth
While spiritual and emotional wealth help in keeping our feelings and thoughts on the check and focused, physical wealth is equally important to achieve the fulfilment in life.
Needless to say, good physical health can easily be built by a good diet, exercise and good sleep, yet how many of us take time to take care of our health?
Inspirational quotes can inspire us, but unless we change our behaviour and take action, results won’t be there.

Financial Wealth
While Spiritual, Emotional, physical wealth forms the foundation of a fulfilled life, financial wealth is important as well. Financial wealth gives one the freedom of doing what one wants to do, when they want to do and how they want to do.
One thought though, as long as you are controlling the money, it works well. Once money starts controlling you, that will be the start of the end. 🙂

Conclusion
It has become a norm to achieve financial and social wealth first before achieving spiritual and emotional wealth. We all know the chaos it leads to. How many wars and financial scams we have seen.
If not completely reversing, would recommend spending time to add wealth into spiritual and emotional accounts apart from physical wealth from very early on in life. This would help create a stable foundation at each stage of life and help live a fulfilled life.
