STAYING BEHIND
The greatest wealth is a clear conscience, no tails following us, each day is wrapped up, all lose ends tied up. We think of riches as money and material possessions, but don't consider how we obtain it. We forget our footprints leave a trail behind us that is forever linked to our life. The only way to remove the tracks is by coming clean, exposing every step we have taken, or it may become a hang mans noose around our neck in the future. What good is all the money in the world when no one trusts us? Dishonesty starts from very young when we play our games and cheat to win, bump the board to move the dice, or bump someone's piece off the table, etc.....we think we are very smart and clever getting away with it, BUT WE'RE NOT BECAUSE IT BECOMES PART OF OUR CHARACTER AND WE CARRY IT INTO LIFE WITH US WHERE CHEATING WILL CATCH UP TO US. We should learn the skill of the game to win in an honest, fair, honourable way as we build a pattern of behaviour and it starts with little games. We may win the game through cheating, but we have lost our honour, dignity, trustworthiness and respect. In the long run it is simply not worth it. A person who loses his honour and trustworthiness is like a leaf that has fallen from the tree, it is no longer useful for anything and becomes dust. We start cheating without even noticing or being aware of it, BUT OTHERS DO SEE IT. Promotion time comes along and others are always chosen over us and we cry out at the unfairness of life.....I WAS NEXT IN LINE.....BUT I FORGOT MY CHEATING SHINES THROUGH AND THEREFORE I AM NOT CONSIDERED RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROMOTION.....and others rise while I stay where I am. Not so nice any more, is it??? A very wealthy person is one who has peace of mind, can sleep soundly at night and can enjoy their life without any fears of being exposed because they have nothing to hide.....no money can buy rest, a clear conscience and a pure heart.....it is priceless.....©Copyright
Tomorrow.....expect the unexpected....
