As we watch a billionaire run for the White House and billions being spent on this election cycle I wondered can success be achieved without money? Of course you’re definition of success/accomplishment is what is really the question. For if we measure success even by educational achievement, charity works, art etc somebody has to pay for others to achieve their “accomplishments”. Yet some of the greatest names that have lasted throughout time were not men or women of extraordinary means or deep pockets whether it be Adam, Moses, or Jesus their words and actions lasted way past their existence.
Can we find similar stories of success that weren’t achieved through the spiritual realm and didn’t require monies for their accomplishments? Maybe we don’t have the funds to build a large project but by working on personal goals like (building on the amount of sit up we can do, writing a story that is enjoyed by a loved one, learning something new etc) we can achieve success that makes us truly proud. Yet even when it becomes more difficult to achieve those goals in our life due to illness or lack thereof we can still move mountains by giving the motivation and knowledge to others so that they can achieve success. This knowledge that we were able to help can give us more pride then the dollars that any dollar that reside in our pockets.
