Perhaps, Money and Fame Are Not In Jesus’s Plan For your life!
Ask the wealthy– money and fame doesn’t always equate to happiness. The reason is simple, if you’re not happy with yourself and appreciate the simplest things in life, joy will escape you. I know people who have more than most, some who’ve had money and access since birth, but they are miserable.
They’re very often nasty to others, selfish, cold, aloof, bitter, and some have no people skills. They wonder why they can’t find love, or can’t seem to find happiness. No matter what you have, eventually it is not enough—the road then becomes very lonely. You can’t escape you and you can’t wrap arms around fame. We do need to have needs met and experience achievement—it ‘s necessary and Jesus does want to help you experience achievement and have your needs met but He may not intend for you to live the lifestyle of the Rich or the Famous. Jesus wants to help you with the essentials necessary for you to live life and walk in and fulfill the plans and purposes for which God has created you for, He may not intend for you to be living a Hollywood dream life as seen on television.
Elite Daily reporter John Haltiwanger worte it is also a survival instinct. “Generosity is, in part, a survival instinct. Even the simple act of sharing food or shelter with another person is an example of humanity’s intrinsic generosity. If we were an overwhelmingly selfish species, we would’ve gone extinct a long time ago.”
The Mayo Clinic reported 10 percent of people base happiness on external circumstances. Change that around. Get out and be grateful. Counting your blessings will reframe your thoughts into a better direction—more positive one. Being thankful is healthy, and once you get started there is a momentum. Make this a habit that can stick as a good attitude can make life entirely better. Being thankful will give you a peace of mind, help with depression, and could help loneliness. Also, gratitude can boost the immune system. Injustice is a part of life. We all need to accept that we can’t control everything in the world or in our lives no matter if you have fame and fortune. If you’ve ever wondered why some people have so much more than you or why they are where they are and why you are where you are, You may need to accept that if Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, He does what is best for you and He leads you in the best possible ways, He does not work in everyone’s life the same. Once you realize that trying to be or accomplish what Jesus Christ may not want for you is fruitless, a lot of work and downright draining, as well as depressing, it will free you from the snare of living a life of comparison and allow you to finally start enjoying being who Jesus Christ is leading you to become!
Adapting to this is imperative to happiness and joy. It takes practice, but like anything else you can be happy in negative circumstances. We don’t like to surrender when life is spiraling out of control, but sometimes you just might have to. Psychology Today explained to accept what is dished out.
