“You want to change the world? … Stop what you are doing, thrust your body and your wealth in, and let’s get rolling. Are you truly in? Or are there other financial and family constraints holding you back today? … I fear that many people’s legacy will be that “He Worried Better than Anyone Else” … I can hear it now … that will be the theme at our funerals. “He watched CNN, or Fox News, or read the NY Times more than anyone I know. He knew all the issues and looked them up in Wikipedia and Google and cared so much … but DID nothing. This is his “Legacy”. Really?
… Having personal goals that specifically align with your wealth are so much more important than the worries of today. So how do we stay focused? Let’s get in the game of living and nailing these goals and not be someone that leaves this world with regrets and concerns. I would love to walk alongside you serving others that are most important to you, using our wealth to better the world instead of hoarding it, and trusting that history will repeat itself in both the good and the bad. Let’s be the ones to “Finish Well” and die well!”
John A. Scott, excerpt from Q3 edition of Cedrus 180: A Reverse Angle, Well Balanced.
I don’t quote many financial advisors because so few sound like Jesus. Few tell the rich to “thrust their wealth in” and urge generosity “instead of hoarding”. I cite him because he’s a follower of Christ who gives counter-cultural advice. Listen to him. Don’t worry better than anyone else. Put whatever you’ve got in play, and God may change the world through you! For doing so, may we all hear the words: “Well Done!”
