The Million Dollar View of Your Life

When we think of people who have a million dollar we think of Millionaires or Billionaires from the Forbes magazine’s list of riches people in the world. Importantly, did you know that during the average person’s lifetime, they would have earned over two million dollars ($2.7 Million)? Neverthless, many of us will not be able to tell what we did with this money.

Become a Million Dollar Manager

There is a Bible story where a business owner trusted three of his employees with his money to manage before he went away on a business trip. He allocated the money according to their abilities. Upon his return he called in each worker to give an account of their money. The first, who received the most, diligently put his money to work and increased it by 100%. The second, who received the second highest additionally did the same and he gained 100% return on the initial investment. Unlike the others, the third, who received the least, dug a hole in the ground and hid the money out of fear. He presented it back to the business owner upon his return.

We have the opportunity to be stewards over money during our lifetime.  So whether you have a lot or very little, our responsibility is to handle it well. Can you give an account of the money that you have been given over the years? A wise man is able to take charge over his money by telling it where to go. A foolish man allows his money to wander and go wherever it pleases.

Be intentional about doing timely reviews. The objective is to try and keep as much of the millions that you would have earned in your lifetime. Schedule meetings with yourself, partner, family to discuss observations and ways of do things differently. Life is a journey, and each day is new. Find ways to stay in control and command your money.
