Wealth: What Its Purpose?

I use the questions from assignment # 19 and took the word "you" into the first person. I answered the questions to how I believe or how I've experience life.... I didn't spend a lot of time on this assignment.

How much money do I want to have? Or how much money I want to be earning?I want to earn as much as it's able to obtain what I need in life's journey. I don't what to barely get by or living pay check to pay check, borrowing things or whatever.

Why don't I have that amount? I have money to obtain what I need at the present moment. It would be nice to have some funds to by some pleasurable things. Wealth comes in many treasures.

I wrote down the some of  my reasons why I don't have..."it". I need to balance and know what I need in life. There can be a lot of reasons why I don't have what I want. Perhaps it not the right time.

Or maybe I have no desire for things that I think I need. We live in a material consuming world of possessing things. Things shouldn't make us "feel" important or worthy.

Are these reasons I want to continue living with? My reasons can change from season to season. Things come up in life and I have to rearrange things. I have to make the best of what I have in the present time. I should use what I have.

What are my beliefs about wealth? My belief about wealth, God gives us power to get wealth.  I have to earn a living. I have to find a way to live. Without income life is hard.

Do I believe that it comes easier to others and is harder for me to acquire?  Wealth is easier to acquire when its inherited. Wealth is much harder when its earned and not managed properly. There's more to wealth than having it.

Do I believe that wealthy people are arrogant? I don't believe all wealthy people are arrogant. It depends on each person and how they learn the value of what they have.

Do I have a clear picture of what I would do with tremendous wealth? I don't think that I have a clear picture of what I would do with tremendous wealth. Money is a hot issue.

Being wealth is more than acquiring what a person has. There is much more responsibility in being wealthy. It cost to be wealthy. There are people that expect more out of wealthy people because they have the resources that's there for them to use. People can take advantage of people who have wealth. That's not good.

Learn how to challenge and eliminate each reason that I don't have the money you want. This is something to do. There are things in my life that I really don't need. I can eliminate those things. It does bring a challenge to me. I need to understand that I am accountable for what I have.

Learn how to identify and replace my limiting beliefs with ones that serve I better. Yes, this is true. I need to learn how to identify and replace my limiting beliefs. I should learn what is best for me as I live life. I believe that there is more to life than I can imagine. I have to explore life and believe for the best.

Through my journaling, attempt to continuously trade up my thoughts so that arrive at the conclusion that I'm sure that I deserve to be wealthy.

If I find this kind of change difficult, enroll someone to help me with it.I didn't choose to find someone to help me on this assignment.

I didn't do the last suggestions from the assignment.The part to have a conversation with wealthy people, I can say I see wealthy people can relate to all kinds of people.

People who worked their way up in wealth can relate to others better than people who have inherited their wealth. By being born rich; there wasn't any lack. But coming from lack into wealth is a different story.

In conclusion:
I can have as much money as I can, as I manage it and have a proper mind set about my wealth. We can be wealthy as we are. It's not just money.

We can have a wealth in encouraging people.  We can have wealth in journaling. The list can go on  and on. The mind set on what wealth is, is what it is. The most important part of wealth is how to mange it and have the right mind set on what wealth is.

What we have comes from the blessings of the LORD. What we do with what we have can bring goodness to us and those around us. We need to learn how to manage what we have. Wealth does have a purpose. We need to discover what it is.

May we have the right desire to have wealth. May we see the value in what wealth really is. May we not use wealth in a bad way. May God grant us wisdom to use what we have for His glory. Amen!
