Compounding: to gather, combine, aggregate, amalgamate, blend, heighten, increase, intensify, magnify, fuse, unite, build up.

You can compound a mistake by repeating it instead of learning from the first mistake and doing things differently from then on.

Compounding is a word often used in the financial world relating to growing your assets or finances or riches.

Yet some of your greatest riches may not be money as such.
What makes your life rich?  What makes you feel rich?  How are you enriched?

Have you noticed when engaging your greatest ability, strength, gift, or asset, it leads to fulfillment and growth that enriches your life?

So what is your greatest asset?  Is it your imagination, your good sense, your mathematical bent, your artistic ability, your attitude, your friendliness, your confidence, your sense of style, your willingness to take part, your leadership capacity, your ability to work in a team, your interest in others, your caring nature, your capable hands, your physical stamina, your eye for detail or your big view perspective, your positivity, your self-belief, your sensitivity?

Riches come in many forms.  Financial riches are one part of the spectrum.  Some riches we are born with, like our instinct and intuition, some we inherit like beautiful hair or lovely skin, others we build, generate, nurture or acquire.  Add rich food, rich smells, rich experiences, rich environment, all provide enrichment in this life.

Regular conscious appreciation of your riches compounds their benefits to you.

Classical financial advice is to build wealth by depositing 10% minimum of earnings and accumulating steadily.   The compounding impact of regular deposits of capital, no matter how small, encourages good habits for establishing priorities and sticking to them.  It’s about compounding as a habit while engaged and focused on day-to-day living.  That’s one way to get rich.

Compounding interest – each week, month, year gaining interest on your accruing savings, plus interest on the interest you are paid, all the while getting progressively richer.

Can this work with happiness – depositing small amounts each day, receiving interest on what you deposit, so next day you start with more happiness than yesterday, increasing your return daily.  A smile brings another smile.  A word of appreciation can enhance the day.   You get interest on interest.  You get joy on joy.  You get happiness on happiness.  Getting progressively richer in happiness.

So how do you compound happiness?
