I also write on this blog..

Click on the title of this post if interested. I am one of a group of contributors, I post maybe once a week or so there. It is the blog for my church, and I am no where near the coolest author. Thanks for reading!

Get Rich Quick!

How many times have you seen it on TV? How many times have you been asked by someone you know? I have seen a lot of it, and I recently decided that I never want to be involved in something that is gonna make me filthy rich, really fast. I am not opposed to the concept of having a nice income or large properties, but I want to earn it over a long period of time and lots of hard work. I am not the best worker, and hopefully I will be better. But I don't think it is very natural to get rich quick. Most rich people I know made it that way not just by awesome talent or great ideas, but mostly by letting it build naturally over time.

Even if the product or service being sold is good, I am generally not interested because of the category it is inside of. I don't want to get sold on the dream of having all of the wealth of the world. Instead, I want the dream of sowing good seed, and later down the road, reaping a well earned harvest. So next time someone tells me of this awesome thing that is gonna make me swim in gold coins like Mr. Mcduck, I am gonna pass, not because I hate the product, but because I disagree with the unrealistic dream life attached to it.
