Appreciation

It is really difficult to learn the art of appreciating the little things in life.

This morning my eldest daughter wanted to show play a song on her keyboard. My natural instinct was to say " babe I really busy this morning, play it to me tonight". But the thought came to me 'how do you know that you will be home tonight'. So I decided to listen her play not one song but three.

Speaking with my father yesterday who has earned lots of money in the past and had a great career and business said to me " as you get older you realise what really is important". Taking those words on board I realised that I personally get so easily entangled in wanting to MAKE MONEY, that it takes all my focus.

Even yesterday some one presented me a opportunity that could pay between £12- £17K extra per year, but it would have meant me sacrificing my dreams for my property business and my vision for Gen-Hope. For a moment because I was focused on cash I was prepared to sacrifice my dreams, but remembering my father words and God really speaking to my spirit, I realised that what is important if fulling my purpose and not chasing the cash.

Funny as I write this the scripture from Solomon springs to minds. Remember he was the richest man on the earth and denied himself nothing. But after he obtained everything he said "it was just a chasing after the wind". Because chasing after money you end up still always chasing money and you are never satisfied.

I'm chasing after fulfilling my purpose and ensuring I never speak the words "I wish I loved my wife, kids, family and friends more".

Also I got to learn to appreciate when I am today and ensure dreaming about tomorrow.

Bless people
