"Une propension à l'espoir et à la joie est une véritable richesse une propension à la peur et à la tristesse est une véritable pauvreté."

Simplified meaning
Having a mindset that leans towards hope and happiness is like being truly wealthy. In contrast, living with constant fear and sadness is like being poor. Imagine two people: one always looks on the bright side and finds small things to be happy about, even on tough days. This person feels rich in life and enjoys each moment. Another person is always worried and sad, even when good things happen. They feel empty and poor, missing out on the joys around them. To apply this thinking, focus on finding joy in everyday moments and stay hopeful, even during hard times. By doing this, you enrich your life and feel more fulfilled, like having your very own treasure.
