Oil prices are soaring due to speculation motivated by Fear! Some call it the black gold! But is it really? Are those who are making the big bucks now really prosperous ? or Just wealthy.
It only takes a little concerted effort of a few less trips in the car, may be a hybrid car, may be actually walking or riding a bicycle for that short trip,--saying no to plastic or paper while using a cloth bag for your shopping, (nice sewing project) little things like this can ruin the financial day of the very few egos who think they are controlling oil prices now.
The wealthiest place on the earth is not high rise glass offices, or the oil fields of the middle east, wall street and all those lofty houses on the hill, nor is it the gold of the Yukon streams ---nope, not even the diamond mines in South Africa.
Ironically the wealthiest place on earth is those cemeteries outside of every small town and hamlet in this world. Full of the woulda's, coulda's, shoulda's ---but didn't!!!!!
Why bite into the apple of deception put out by the material egos.
God deposited a gift--a treasure inside of each and every one of his children, gifts, talents or skills that you can do well in a specific area. Do not take that lightly nor for granted, but, you have to do your part to bring it forth.
Do not let your wondrous being join all that wealth underground ---- letting your treasure just lie in a grave---write that book!---Sing that song!---compose that music score and dance that dance. Paint that portrait---love that child.
But most of all laugh and love and be aware of all that is truly valuable going on around you.
You want to start a business, do it! Quit talking about it, praying about it! Move a foot, spark a brain cell, Do something! ---- simply by pausing a little bit each day and go into prayer---meditate---not just listen but-- Hear-- what the universe is responding to you about; take that step toward the dreams and passions of your heart.
Compared to wealth, Your prosperity is unlimited and will carry on for generations to come in the hearts of millions ---unlike the ever changing dollar bill that will never leave the planet.
