Life Lessons 101
Changing our perspective towards life.
In today's society, what is topmost on a lot of minds is the need to be wealthy.
There is nothing wrong in wishing for a comfortable life which only money can supply. However in the search for money and the fervent prayers for it, most folks fail to pray for good health, love and wisdom. Wealth without these three can be somewhat tragic.
Having money is one thing, having good health is another. There are millionaires today who would without hesitation give everything they have to be well again. They have come to realise a bit too late, that having money is one thing, having the health to enjoy it, is another. Not all health problems that money can take away.
I have heard of millionaires who commit suicide even with their buckets full of money. The equation in their lives was not quite right. There was a missing link that left them feeling deprived and empty. Money can be a cold companion and most times, not even the best of friend.
There are limits to wealth.
Wealth does not guarantee good health or comfort.
If it did the rich would be immune to ill health and not prone to suicides.
Wealth certainly does not guarantee love. The wealthy most times end up with people who love their money more than they love them. A fact they have gotten to know by having those they hook up with sign pre-nuptial agreements. So they start a marriage or a relationship with an open display of distrust. And we all know what happens to love not based on trust. It goes downhill.
Wealth cannot buy love. If it did Princess Diana would not have left Prince Charles. Wealth instead attracts people that make you sometimes doubt your self worth.
To make wealth work for you, it requires wisdom way beyond the not so common, common sense. The wisdom to discern good from bad, truth from lies and the difference between the two extremes.
Health, love, wisdom. These three needs should go hand in hand with whatever prayers for wealth one desires. I believe with these three in tow, whenever the wealth comes, it will bring happiness not only to you but to all others whose path and yours shall cross.
Nice perspective man
Thank you.
This statement captivated me :
Money is very important. In fact Money answereth all things but money is not value. Only a measure of it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this issue. Steem on!
Thanks. Talk soon.
Time is past when I argue with folks over the position of money and wealth in our lives white-paper .
The simple truth is that we become what we hear, say and believe, man has esteemed money and wealth beyond their confines! Maybe because man made money. But the simple bitter truth must be said; money and wealth are the least in our lives white paper, the most important organs of life are so insignificant to man, because he do not understand it, maybe because he do not have any say on how they revolves and sustained.
Vanity upon vanity all is vanity.
The only thing worth glorifying assuming it calls for is life itself.
@ememivic you really scratched it open!
Fantastic job.
Thanks for dropping by.
This is impressive@ememovic
In addition to this. God unraveld his intention of wisdom where he succinctly mentioned in Proverb that wisdom is the principal thing and in all your getting, get understanding. A man or woman with wisdom, is naturally a wealthy person, just in matter of time. The cash will come physically, as he or she would be able to incurred his/her asset in something productive and profitable. You see money isn't everything, and that is what fewer or perphas many fail to understand. I admire one of your lines you stated that money can't buy love and that is why you see victims of it emotional sick having realise they have been swimming in pool or ocean of infidelity after a long while.
With Wisdom, Health and love, the world will be a heaven on earth.
Thank you for sharing I celebrate your creativity.
Thanks for the complement, I really do appreciate.
Money is not everything. But it sure helps to be crying in a Rolls Royce than on a bicycle:) Nice point of view. Keep steeming.
Thanks boss. Sometimes i ponder whether you're Agent Smith, the matrix boss that duplicates himself into hundreds. I see you almost everywhere.
Maybe you're our Steemit 'Agent Smith' lol.
Keep Steeming bro. Nothing do you.
The Matrix is everywhere. Lol. Great movie. Happy to see a fellow movie person. I watched The Matrix like ten times. Super cool sci-fi flick.
I really love the part you quipped:
So on point bro
Thanks bro
The truth is that i guess why people with money most time dont get health and those with health dont get wealth is God's divine plan to maintain balance in the world. Without which our society will be a world for the wealthy or just the healthy.
I m surprised you know about pre-nup contracts, you must be a lover of SUITS. Nice work bro.
