Horse Sense Economics 101.6

Enjoy the view that doesn't change whether your are solvent or struggling.

Today @yokoono tweeted: "Think of a beautiful thing you don't own. See if you could still appreciate its beauty."

This is a remarkable observation from an enormously wealthy woman. And the true meaning of "the best things in life are free."

If this is not a habit for you, give it a try. Start with that sunset or star-filled sky and possess that feeling that relaxes your facial muscles into a smile and moves through your body. You could be standing in a bombed out junkyard (literally, figuratively and spiritually) and be set aglow with a sunset. Especially one that comes through polluted skies. (I remember that from living in Los Angeles.)

You'd be surprised how easy it is to transfer that experience to a material item you admire and covet. Let go of the covet, and let the admiration fill you with wonder. It's not just a recipe for a free thrill, it's something you can take away to feel completely and substantially enriched.

Get inspired. It's not difficult. And it's priceless.
