At quick glance, whether or not a person experiences financial success in life may seem arbitrary. Some people seemed to have earned it through hard work, while others were handed money on a silver platter. Still others engage in unscrupulous tactics to achieve it and many of them ultimately pay the price. While we struggle to support ourselves, we wonder why we were not selected to experience financial riches.
The truth is, our life is what we make it. We can climb the corporate ladder while working for someone else or we can create our own destiny in a different way, by becoming entrepreneurs. Either one may offer intrinsic and financial reward, depending on who we are. Some people are not content to be restricted by a corporate structure and choose to embark on their own ventures. Though this is often an admirable move, success is not guaranteed.
Starting a small business is expensive and most entrepreneurs spend some sleepless nights wondering how they will pay the bills. Along the way, these individuals rely strongly on their core beliefs, one of which is often a strong sense of faith. Even those who started with little spiritual values may come to believe in a higher being who guides them down the right path. They place their trust in something outside of themselves, hoping it will make their career more rewarding.
Some people have seen what faith can do first-hand and they share their experience with others. By providing the lessons they learned and explaining the life-altering change they made, they hope to help other people transform their own lives. Many of them believe that being blessed with the success they have requires that they share the method of realizing it with the public.
This sharing, they believe, is their calling and duty, the price they must pay for their riches. In reality, it is not a sacrifice because every time they show others how to be more successful, they feel an internal satisfaction. What better thing can a person do than help someone else realize a dream? Even the most stubborn audience can take away valuable lessons from this conversation.
Whatever our faith is at this point may undergo a radical transformation when we find ourselves on the receiving end of such a powerful message. As we embark on our own journey to put ourselves in the financially secure category, we may remember this information and incorporate it into our lives. When we achieve financial security, it will be our turn to share the valuable lesson with others.
