Chapter 10
The place of LOVE
When a man doesn’t have money, all he thinks about from morning to night is his bills,
bills, bills.
He fantasizes of hitting it big, making millions and being free of money worries for the
rest of his life.
Therefore, many people focus ALL their energy on the pursuit of money by any means
necessary.
They forget themselves, their families and their friends and just chase after the almighty
dollar.
And when they finally hit the riches, are they finally happy?
No!
Riches do not taste good when you are all alone.
I watched a video by the famous speaker, Lisa Nichols where she spoke about how she
was visited during the holidays by a friend of hers who was a Billionaire. The billionaire
had loads of money and could buy anything he wanted… but he did not have a loving
family around him. Money without loved ones to share it with is a bitter scam!
He was money rich, but relationship bankrupt!
Hence, he was still lonely and very unhappy.
Listen, riches are amazing, and money can buy lots of diamonds and pearls. But make no
mistake; money cannot replace the love of family and friends in your life. It’s nice to sit at
the top of the mountain, but on your way to the top, ensure you take your family and
friends with you.
Invest in self-love and invest in your relationship with your loved ones.
Pick up that phone, make those calls, send a gift for those birthdays and let your loved
ones know that you care and that they are valuable to you.
