Yesterday in certain event i was thinking about the diffrences between people who are successful, wealthy and otherwise good and those who are poor, troubled or unhappy. Then all of sudden i felt the following words: "Happiness trough outside success (and wealth) is a great lie fed to us that leads to jealousy" and it continued: "Research this (in light of Bible) and gain wisdom."

What do you think of this?

Also i have feeling there is someone who i need to talk about this in near future and this is my prep time for it.

Wealth determines who we are and it brings happiness and security. It's a lie. Most of the time, wealth is the reason behind broken lives, marriages and relationships. The true source of happiness and security is our love for God. Success is contentment in what you have and in doing what you love and being with the people that you love. It does'nt take a lot of wealth to do that. And God provides for our needs and our desires according to His purposes.

Pro 13:7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
