Day 44: The 1 Percent

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Luke 6:38

 

Have you ever watched success videos that teach you the secrets to becoming part of the 1 %?  There are people who are able to make lots of money and even create wealth that generates more wealth.  They are a small part of the population.  When looking for motivation one factor may be the idea of making lots of money.

I’d like to talk to the 99%.  If there is a king there is only one king and the rest of the people need to find a way to live that makes them happy and healthy without being the ultimate person in charge of the kingdom.

I really love the example of the Son of God.  He humbled Himself to better serve and love others.  We all can do that.  (And He actually is the King of Kings!). We all can make choices to make ourselves more helpful to our family and community.  In so doing we will find happiness, health, and purpose.  While we must make sure to live a balanced life we can rest assured that when we allow ourselves  to be a blessing to others we ourselves are blessed.

Today I will focus on helping those in my reach.
