On May 20th every year, National Be a Millionaire Day celebrates the idea of being a millionaire. Very few people haven’t imagined what it would be like to be a millionaire. What about you?
I recently read Brad Hewitt and James Moline’s Your New Money Mindset: Create a Healthy Relationship with Money, which offers a different perspective.
Ron Blue, Founding Director of Kingdom Advisors, wrote the foreword for the book, noting, “The most significant thing I have learned is that money decisions are always symptomatic of a belief system. As Dallas Willard once said, “The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow our minds to dwell upon.”
Did you know that Jesus Christ spoke more about money than any other single topic?
When we have an eternal perspective (mindset), follow God’s principles of money management, and seek His wisdom, the end result includes three key factors.
- We experience a life of contentment, because everything is in its proper perspective.
- We act with confidence, because God’s principles will never change—they’re always relevant, and they’re always right.
- We experience outstanding communication with those that we need to communicate with, most likely our spouses, because we are seeking God’s goals and not ours.
Maybe the best way for you and me to celebrate National Be A Millionaire Day is to consider a new money mindset.
