Rethinking “Wealth” as a Multi-Dimensional State of Being

Wealth has many realms and connotations. Among the multitude of wealth's dimensions, wealth can be physical, emotional, spiritual and financial. Wealth is knowledge, skills and experience. Wealth encompasses natural resources, wisdom and community. Wealth is both collective and individual.

Wealth has different values and meanings in different cultures, geographies and across generations. Wealth is unique to each individual and to each community both in terms of values and composition.

Each of these can be argued to be an integral part of a person's, or a community's, sense of wealth and abundance. But how many of these dimensions are integrated into our sense of wealth and abundance:

  • Physical
  • Emotional
  • Spiritual
  • Financial
  • Knowledge
  • Skills
  • Experience
  • Natural Resources
  • Wisdom
  • Community
