People often read my writings as if I am writing for the sole purpose of debating. Taking action and getting results is the aim of my writings. I firmly believe that the bible substantiates the principle of business, wealth and of poverty.
You do not have to travel far to see the positive and negative effect that wealth or poverty has had on this country and its citizens. The United States of America is a capitalistic society that thrives on the principle of exchange. To question if this is right or not is absurd.
It never cease to amaze me how some people – Christians and Non-Christians can totally stand against wealthy or successful business owners. While they themselves are the very ones seeking promotions or an increase in salary.
If you have been successfully living on your current salary, why would you want more money? Is not any form of materialism or desire for financial increase greed? According to these critics, it is. The truth of the matter is that everyone wants some form of prosperity; whether in material things, money, or the size of their home. Sometimes, it is the lack of what you have that causes you to have mixed emotions toward those who do have.
If you knew how to get more, you would have more. Like most Americans, people are debt ridden and stuck in a job that they do not like. Moreover, if they could find another position paying more money, they too would put in their two-week notice.
It has been said that one sentence of wisdom can change a person’s life more than volumes of books. Imagine what hundreds of letters of wisdom could do. As you read my correspondence of wisdom, you will begin to master concepts in personal achievement; and at the same time, increase your odds of achieving success. Acknowledge your desire to increase your income, upgrade your lifestyle, and you could be on your way to doing so.

This blog is so key! We totally agree with everything you are saying.
I was raised that if you have enough to get by then that is good enough. As long as you do your best and try, you are good to go. In the past (almost) five years Dr. Brown you have shown/taught me the complete opposite. If I keep applying and reminding myself about the principles you have taught and shared then I will be successful in all that God has for me. It is not a easy thing to change over night, I am willing to face the challenge to be a success in every area of my life. Thank you!
One key point that stands out to me is,
“Moreover, if they could find another position paying more money, they too would put in their two-week notice”.
I believe the ability for a person to leave solely on the condition stated above is part of the problem with the person not getting more. Lack of loyalty and purpose is easy for most in leadership and it would be easy to move that person on anyway. This leaves the person short of time to actually be successful and get more.
To stand against those who have what you want and feel you will never have is common. I think this call to those people to be honest with themselves is crucial to their deliverance. It is true that people who say they don’t believe in being rich are the same people who get excited over increase and ask God for more money.
I agree; it is so easy to grumble with the haves when we have not. It seems very difficult to take the steps to improve one’s life. But my God has given me the strength, wisdom and purpose to fulfill my desires.
