Before we go to the three tests i.e. The test of joy. The test of purpose. The test of creativity ask yourself:
Probably you can think of many answers to that question. Such as paying your bills, feeding you family better and making life easier for them etc. Its okay.
Now imagine you succeed in making lots of money, big money, is there anything else you would like to do?
Your answer to that question could be your own answer. (Len’s answer was to be able to help others in need). The point is you should have some significant purpose in making lots and lots of money. You will not succeed in making lots of money in real sense, if you think accumulating wealth is just an end in itself. Money in itself is not bad, but it can be if you put money and wealth on a pedestal and become blind to everything else in life. Money is not the problem, but your attitude towards what you have got that can be a problem.
So you must pay attention to SIGNIFICANCE before you are wealthy. Let me explain. Success is about worth. Significance is about worthwhile. Success is getting. Significance is giving - giving time, talent, money and service to others. And that’s what really matters in the end.
So it is important to have a significant purpose before becoming wealthy. Now take time and find out yours before you go to next post where I will deal with the test of joy.
