Journal 1011

Recently a friend sent this email about the Six Principles of Life: – Live your Life to the Full. I thought it was rather meaningful to share this.

  1. No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.
  2. No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.
  3. Money is not yours until you spend it.
  4. When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late.
  5. How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs.
  6. No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

Remember this – We come to this world with nothing, we leave this world with nothing!

I recalled reading Job. In Job 1, God allowed Satan to test Job by striking him with calamities in which he lost everything he possessed. In Job 1:21

He said,
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked I shall return there
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the LORD.”

We got to learn to be like Job; to face up to adverse circumstances and be sure that God is in control of everything.
