Values?

You know the old slogan, "Put your money where your mouth is?"

That phrase you and your buddies use to say to each other when you were acting tough watching a football game back in the day.

Perhaps someone has challenged you - and you said "Put your money where your mouth is!"

Why do we use that phrase? Sure, if we lost we would lose something of value, but I assure you if you put your faith where your mouth is, you would never lose!

Well, that is if you had faith in the first place! If you lack faith, it will be on full display quickly. Perhaps that is why people don't "value" it as much as "putting the money where the mouth is."

But really, faith is everything. Money isnt.

This world is funny, isnt it? If you really consider the ridiculousness of the "almighty dollar." Sure it DEFINITELY helps to have it. I get that. But what happens if the world we knew turned completely upside down? What are you left with?

That money might as well be toilet paper.

That "LUCRATIVE JOB" you value so much - more than possibly starting a family, or spending time with your family - doesn't exist. All that time you spent building yourself up the corporate latter - was a waste. It means nothing.

Let me get this straight for you - I want you to desire and push for success, but I DO NOT want you to sacrifice the things that matter most in this life for things that wont matter.

You need better priorities if you value money and your job more than GOD and LOVE.

A man is known by his fruit.

Take a look at yourself. Where you spend the most time or think about the most is what matters most to you!

If you are with your family and constantly in your phone checking emails and working from home - your valuing your work more than your family.

If you have a beautiful family at home, yet your out at the bar with your buddies, you value your social life and your friends, possibly your valuing the effects of the alcohol, more than you do your family.

Lets be honest - if you attain everything your heart desires, but you fail to love and learn to value the things that MATTER - your life will account for nothing and you will be empty and broken.

I hope you value the right things in life. Perhaps it might be time to re-evaluate your values. Here are some questions for you to consider

What do you value the most?

Where are you spending the most time and money?

Where are your investments of your time and your money?
