“I have worked with wealthy clients for years. Through their lives and experiences I have observed that although money can be a great tool, it never determines the level of joy or satisfaction in a person’s life. Used properly, money can facilitate some great experiences. Used improperly, it can be devastating. But the fact is that true joy and happiness are there for the taking no matter whether you have much money or little. The proper alignment of God’s purpose in your life with your relationships and resources brings ultimate fulfillment.”
