What are you willing to give up?

9 April 2006

[The rich man replied] “Teacher I have kept all these since

my childhood.” Then Jesus looked at him with love

and told him, “There is one thing more that you must do.

Go and sell what you have and give it to the poor; you

Will then have treasure in heaven.”

                                                         Mark 10:20-21

Sooner or later, we must all make decisions about what is really important in our lives. The message in Mark is that we need to put Jesus first in our lives. If our attachment to the world is so strong that it interferes with our relationship with Jesus we have our priorities wrong. We must make a decision in our lives about what is really important.

Think about many of the commercials for money making programs. What do they do to entice you to buy into their program? They show the program creators in front of mansions or multiple expensive cars or they talk about the wonderful vacations they take. Have you ever heard any of them say the extra money they made enabled them to help those who are sick or needy? Not that I am aware of.

Now there is certainly nothing wrong with financial prosperity as long as your priorities are correct as Jesus talks about in Mark’s gospel. Your focus must be on heaven and not on earth. Part 1 of The Biblical Guide To Internet Riches teaches a success philosophy that helps keep God first in your life as you pursue Internet success.

The same is true for your Internet business. I know you are interested in building your Internet business, which is absolutely great. But what are you willing to give up to achieve success? What is your priority? Is it watching TV, surfing the net, fishing?

If you are really serious about building your Internet business you must be willing to make it a priority and give up other non-essentials to build success.

Take some time to reflect on your priorities during the coming days. Decide how serious you are about achieving success and what you are willing to give up. The only way to achieve the success you desire is to make building a business your priority!

Finally, heed the advice of St Paul in his letter to the Philippians 4:8 where he tells us:

“Finally, my brothers, your thoughts should be wholly directed to all that is true, all that deserves respect, all that is honest, pure admirable, decent, virtuous or worthy of praise.”

To Success His Way,

Mark
