A "New" New Year's Resolution
by Robin Young

APPLAUD WOMEN HOMEPAGE

The Applaud Women publication is dedicated to women in New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. It's purpose is to inspire, inform, and
applaud local women. The core of the magazine is our inspirational women's articles, most of which feature local women but occasionally we are
able to interview national women who we feel provide a unique inspiration for our readers. Our other articles cover topics of interest such as food
recipes, home, garden, beauty, health, fashion, dating, parenting, seniors, finance, business, hair care, skin care, advice, real estate, insurance,
weddings etc. Each issue has a feature section as well. Many of our articles are written by local business people who provide information
relevant to their business expertise. The Applaud Women website is also a resource center for local women including the most comprehensive
listings of Restaurants, Weddings, Female doctors and Hotels. It also includes a number of informational pages with links, articles and RSS feeds
to both local and national websites of interest to women in NH & n. MA. To read the publication click here then click on the cover image to turn

A fresh, new year is as good a reason as any to revisit timeless concepts when it comes to your life and your wealth.

How are you using the resources in your life: time, energy, relationships, talents and money to fulfill your life’s
aspirations? By revisiting these essentials in auld lang syne style, you can reinvigorate yourself for the year —
hopefully years — ahead!

Wealth is derived from wele & weal "well-being" on analogy of health. True wealth connotes financial riches but it is
also true to mean health. Wealth by ALL definitions is happiness. You may link the word “wealth” with “money.”
TRUE wealth is not; repeat NOT, the accumulation of money. Part of wealth is financial abundance but true wealth is
much more. Research has shown that people are generally happier when they have abundance in all areas of their
life including health, family, work, community, inner growth, learning, home, and finances.

How can you use the resources in your life to increase your life’s wealth? Begin by asking yourself how satisfied you
are in the various aspects of your life. Take the time to really appreciate the areas in which you feel fully satisfied.
Giving back at your local charity may provide you with energy and fulfillment, while needing to more fully understand
your financial position could prove stressful. If you are not satisfied with your finances, then think about what
resources you can commit to helping you achieve that goal, such as spending some time creating a budget or using
some of your money to hire an advisor to help. If having better relationships with your family is important to you,
then you may want to consider hosting Sunday dinners, planning a family vacation or nurturing a common interest.
Focusing your resources on things that are truly important is a both satisfying and richly rewarding way to spend
the New Year!
