Capital is what empowers or gives a person the power to be and to function creatively, productively and with a high degree of satisfaction  and fulfillment.

Capital, in its broadest sense, consists of four elements: wealth, health, relationships and attitude. To the degree a person possesses these elements is the extent he can advance and is presently advancing toward his potentail and utimately his destiny. Let us examine these components of capital.

Wealth. Wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or material possessions. Like money, in any amount, which is generally considered to be wealth, especially when it is of a considerable amount, and is a "medium of exchange" wealth too is a medium of exchange. It is accepable as a verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and payment of debts.
          A person does not have to be wealthy to have wealth. This is somewhat like saying, "every dollar counts."In addition to this,  management of wealth and how wealth is used are of ultimate importance. Wealth can be used for destructive purposes or to enhance living.

Health. It has been said that "health is better than wealth." Casual observation of some wealthy people who are debilitated or incapacitated makes it easy to accept the validity of that axiom. Many a wealthy person would give away their wealth in exchange for good health. Of course, some wealthy people spend their wealth on medical treatment that does not improve their health.
         Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a person. In humans it is the general condition of a person's mind body and soul, usually a state of well-being and good condition, being free from diseasse, illness, injury or pain. Poor health is not healthy, not feeling well. The focus of this discussion is on good health and how to acquire or maintain good health., with an emphasis on health through consciousness.

Relationships. Relationship is the way in which two or more people, groups, countries, etc., are connected and deal with each other. Obviously, relationships can be toxic destructive and negative, as is much in evidence for nearly everyone to see. On the other hand there is nothing that can be more meaningful than good relationships. Human beings are social animals and as such they find their greatest satisfaction in relating with each other.

Attitude. Attitude is an expression of favor or disfavor toward a person, place, thing, or event. An attitude can be a positive or negative evaluation of people, objects, events, activities, ideas, or just about anything that can be experienced. Significantly, there is nothing short of death that can deny a person the power to chose a positive attitude toward his specific situation and most importantly, aboutt himself. The attitude of a person in prison may be an expression of freedom while the attitude of a person who is free to travel the world may be one that has him in bondage. 

The person who possesses capital in its fourfold composition, having wealth, health, relationships and attitude, is experiencing potential living. For him life is worth living and it is the epitome of beauty in the present.

Your capital is to be used as opportunities afford. Use your capital to grow, to serve, to heighten consiciousness and to glorify God who is the 'Totality of All Good." Do all the good you can.

Whatever state you are in at present begin each day saying aloud this affirmation "I am wealthy, I am healthy, I am in good relationships, I have a positive attitude." Make this affirmation with awareness of this Biblical edict: "Let the weak say I am strong." (Joel 3:10..)
