How did you get wealthy? What did you give up? Odds are you left something behind when you entered that door, or when you inherited that check. It’s the one thing that matters in life and keeps us sane. It’s what makes us who we are, and keeps us balanced. What did you give up? Did it matter to you in the first place? Did you learn what it was for and how far it could take you? Does it matter to you now that it’s gone?
Remember that when people strike it rich or get wealthy, there’s something they leave behind, and it’s not what you think. It’s not friends, and family, or something they loved. It’s what they need. And it’s their connection to God. They lose that connection to God in order to keep wealthy and make that money, and it’s a shame to envy these people. They lack what we take for granted every day: sanity, peace, and sobriety.
It’s essential to remain faith – driven in all actions, attitudes and approach to life. We are given a soul to use for this purpose. Don’t ever lose it for money. It’s something that would disappoint God and make him punish you for eternity. It’s not worth losing your soul for temporary Fame and Fortune. It’s not worth it for the inheritance. It’s not worth it to live big in the world. Only God matters and the closer you are to him, the wealthier you truly are.
