Are not necessarily smarter than the rest. They are not necessarily successful in marriage or in parenting. They don’t necessarily have great morals. Most are not disciplined savers – they eat life with a large spoon. Very few people saved money to riches. Although most rich people believe in something greater than them, they are not necessarily God-fearing. And some of them are not highly educated.
But they are all men and women of faith. They believe in themselves. They try something larger than them. They venture into the unknown believing the dots will somehow connect. They are knowledge seekers. They search for valuable information. They consistently challenge their own assumptions. They master how to win with people. They continually broaden their network base.
They have a high tolerance for pain. They don’t easily give up. No matter the pressure they’re facing, they don’t display weakness. They have a thick skin. They fight till they break-through. They are passionate on their work. They have an unbeatable work ethic. They finish what they start. They have developed winning habits. They are very disciplined at work. They command respect and demand performance.
They are very competitive individuals. Their determination to win defies description. They are driven by something greater than them. They build their legacy by what they give, not what they receive. They recognize the favor in their lives and empathize with the less fortunate. These principles hold true for people who get elected in high political offices.
While most people envy the rich, few admit this secret desire. Riches and wealth are hidden in knowledge. Surround yourself with mentors and good books and videos. And pursue something greater than money. It’s utterly useless to have all the money and lose your soul in hell. But wealth does not in itself compromise your relationship with God. You can be rich financially and rich towards God.
