The Ultimate Guide to Getting Rich

Inspiration hides in the most unlikely places and strikes at the most unexpected times.  You have to be wise enough to recognize when it strikes and ready to move the instant you get that inspiration.

This week I found myself watching “conspiracy theory” videos on Youtube. I’m not sure why they’re called conspiracy theories though, as most of them seem to be fringe thoughts and scriptural (mis)interpretations. What they all were is somewhat fascinating. I enjoyed seeing how more unconventional minds work. What struck me most were the ones that inadvertently showed the raw, naked wretchedness of people caught up in the quest for fame, fortune and adulation. Poignant stuff.

So, there’s the inspiration for this post. My main concern isn’t the quest for riches, but rather the level of wretchedness, depravity and pain that comes from seeking it the wrong way. There’s no need to sell your soul for a temporary taste of the good life and the bitter aftertaste that comes with it. There’s a surprisingly easy way to accomplish great gain with no pain.

Solomon, reputedly the wisest man who ever lived, spelled it out clearly and succintly several centuries ago.

Proverbs 10:22

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Simple.

Be blessed.
