What's truly of value

Proverbs 23:23:

Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.

There are so many people out there dying to win the lottery, to which I have to ask, "why?" You can do a lot of things with money, but the one thing you can't do is make yourself more disciplined. The things that are of real value are priceless: wisdom, discipline, the fruits of the Spirit.

I finally came to a place in my life where I realized I didn't want to win the lottery. If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I would spend it trying to become the person who could make it on their own. That's irony.

So why look for money? It's only a tool. Look to enrich yourself - the inner you. The rest is fluff.
