I am a woman of faith devoted to reading the Holy Bible everyday. Recently I was reading through the Book of Ecclesiastes and I couldn’t help but to agree with the preacher with what he was saying through the verses. For the most of the times, our motive for wanting money is all but vanity.
Now don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you shouldn’t get yourself luxurious items neither is no one saying that you shouldn’t live a well desired fulfilling life but then you realize that if everything is limited to material possessions, after you get them, what’s next. You don’t even most probably get true fulfillment therein. What I’m emphasizing is that the purpose of your wealth should not be limited to material possessions. Your wealth should be providing a solution. Your wealth should be blessing someone. Your wealth should be making an impact. Let your motive be beyond vanity sake.
We believe in you!
To your financial independence and freedom
Also, let me add this, you don't have to wait till you have that tons of money before you start fulfilling this dream. In your own little way, aid someone's education. Little by little and you'd be amazed at the impact you've done.
I'm glad you find it so Adunoluwa. Thank you for commenting.
Yeah, very true. Thank you for commenting.
Very inspiring!
Very good piece. I pray that good money should be in the hands of those who will use it to benefit mankind. The examples of Buffet, Gates and other billionaires who are committed to giving away billion of dollars every year is very notable
It's very good you've been able to clarify your motive. However, in as much as mere wishing does not produce results, you have to include actions. Mind you, not only a job can bring you money. Explore your gifts, talents and passion. Finally, don't give up. Keep pressing on.
Yes, very true Adebola. Investment in lives. Thank you for commenting.
I agree with your view but what advice will you offer to someone that has this right motive to be wealthy but find it difficult to access wealth? Take for example am passionate for the less privilege most especially the Orphans. I hope to have a foundation to sponsor them to school from their childhood till university Level. Also, cater for their well being in the course. But all my efforts to secure a good job to achieve this has always been futile.
Thanks a lot dear for this apt reminder. The best kind of wealth is that of investment in lives
