"Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;
wealth from hard work grows over time."
- Proverbs 13:11
wealth from hard work grows over time."
- Proverbs 13:11
For a person who leaves home and goes off somewhere with nothing, but the clothes on his back, it is hard to to make their "claim" on their dreams. But at the same time it forces you to do what you must to survive and to eventually see your dreams come to fruitfulness. Certainly I have felt this way when I first got here, and continually feel this way. Perhaps I came with more than just the clothes on my back, but truly I have been put in a position where I must push forward and work hard to see my dreams come true.
I've tried several "get-rich-quick" schemes and have just waisted money and time. From things such as ways to get free money from the government and other organizations, to those "type from home" gimmicks, and to other things that involves "clicking" and buying "clickers" to "click" to make money.
I was too naive and believed them without thinking. How very unwise of me. Get-rich-quick schemes don't work, unless you are the guy who's selling the product. He is certainly getting rich quick. Everyone else who joins in or buys the product will never be as rich as the one who started it, especially for product sellers. As if they will tell you all their secrets that have made them rich, if they did then they wouldn't be rich anymore.
Do not be foolish and fall for such things. It truly is hard work that will give you the good results you need, and perhaps even a bit of "luck." I have two online endeavors going on right now, both have just begun for me. Everyday I do something that will help my company and endeavors get noticed by the online community and by people I meet here where I live. It is hard work, building it up, the hours of typing and thinking, studying, reading, and learning how to run and expand my business is hard. But I know that God will bless my efforts. I know he'll give me success as I put him first and work hard on my legitimate endeavors. Not like those who sell "get rich quick" schemes and products.
There is no room for laziness, for just talking about the fortune I want to make, or my dreams that I want to achieve. To make it a reality, to see it come to pass, I must work towards them. And that is what I am going to do, as hard as it may be for me right now, as tired as my eyes get from staring at my computer, as broke as I feel at the moment; I will achieve the best of what God has for my life.
The best part is that I know that anyone can do the same. God promises us all that he has a good and wonderful plan for us, that will bring prosperity and hope for the future (Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.)
One last thing I want to leave you with is this from Psalm 37:4 - Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Like me, most of us have probably rebelled against God plenty. I've only begun to get to know God since my senior year in high school, and have made plenty of mistakes - things I am ashamed of. But I know these words to be true, because there was also a time when I was so close, where I saw prayers answered so quickly, so reassuringly and gently. I have no doubt in God's words...
And that is why I've started this blog, to draw closer to God once again, to share what I am learning in hopes to help those when they up against similar situations and circumstances, and to show in time how true God's words are.
God bless,
