FOR THE WIN - Week 4

What is it that you wish you had more of? More vacation time? More square footage? A few more zeroes in your retirement

account? This question is pretty easy to answer because all of us, regardless of our financial situation, know what it feels like to want more. But why? Why do we always crave more? Even when we do get what we want, there always seems to be something else on the horizon that we want more of. The reality is, more is an appetite. Every time we want more, and every time we get more, it leads us to wanting more, and so our appetite grows. While this cycle may not seem harmful at first, it can ultimately keep us dissatisfied and make us miserable. But there is one proven way to combat this kind of dissatisfaction: Give more.

Although it’s counter-intuitive, the truth is that giving satisfies us more than getting ever will. This week, we’ll look to Proverbs and discover how giving can lead us to contentment. As we do, we might just realize that a person who gives is a person who wins.
