Money or the amount of it available to a person, makes almost every decision in that persons life.
Where we live, with whom we vacation, or if we vacation at all.
The people we spend our time with, the clothes we wear, the food we eat and the car we drive.
Mostly, money, or our love of it, reveals who we are under the facade of clothing, make-up, residence, the car we drive, the company we keep. et al.

The one unknown, which calls the tune to which we dance, is how long does our ride last? A person must decide how much of our limited time do we devote to gathering a pile of something that has absolutely no eternal value.
“Doing unto others” reveals a persons character more acturately than our bank statement.
America worships these green bits of paper and what they can buy.
After providing for our families, giving of ourselves trumps the stuff we can buy with the time we trade for the love of money.
We will be remembered not for how much money we leave but how much of ourselves we gave to others.

Most of us are tricked into getting on that hamster wheel and running with all our might to gather as much as possible.
When each of us is ready to leave this world, our last thoughts will not be “I wish I would have spent more time at work or gathered more money, rather; having loving family and friends that were impacted by what we did for others rather than the pile of green paper we left behind.

You need to feature Julie Ali in an interview. I love her guest posts, but I have no idea who she is!

Thanks!
