Life Lessons Super Pain Makes A Super Hero 7:16 PM Heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they are graced with. -Brodi Ashton Super pain makes a super hero. Superman. Batman. The Avengers. X-men. Superman, as we all know had fear of heights, and per Smallville, fear of talking to Lana Lang. Batman had Chiroptophobia (fear of bats). Not only that, he witnessed the murder of his parents at a very young age. What could be more painful and traumatic than that? Daredevil lost his eyesight and the last thing he saw was his dad attacking someone. He also didn't get justice for his father's murder. They've become the super beings that they are because of the super pain they went through. They didn't allow their traumatic experiences and fear paralyze them. They didn't allow anger to consume them in an ugly way---unlike the villains. They used their haunting traumas and limitations to save lives, make a difference and make the world more livable. They may have issues (like all of us) but they know how to handle them. That's one of the many superhero traits that set them apart. Mind over matter. Learn to turn things around. Have exceptional self-discipline. Don't wallow in your past. Don't obsess over what you can't control. We all go through pain at some point in our lives; Pain of tooth extraction. Pain of hangover. The excruciating pain of menstrual cramps. Pain of failure. Pain of losing a loved one. Pain of betrayal. The important thing is that we use pain to fuel our passion, not blind us from the beauty of life. Pain makes you desperate, and desperation is more potent than hope (Bo Sanchez). If you're desperate enough to get out of what's bringing you so much pain, you will find a way out. With every problem comes a solution. We just have to turn our stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Don't let the giant (fear) trample you. Instead climb on its shoulder (conquer it) so you can see better. When you do, you'll realize that your problem is just a speck. You just thought it was massive because you've been looking at it so closely and you've magnified it by worrying. We can be heroes. We may not have the capability to fight assassins or the money to own a Bat mobile but we can still save the world. How? By saving ourselves first. Save ourselves from our fear, our pain, our weakness, the prison we built around ourselves. If it takes super pain to make you a superhero, then all of us are qualified.

Wealth and Money What Money Can't Buy 2:08 AM Money can buy a ring, but not love. Allow me to share this beautiful and insightful poem written by a 10-year old Daniel Olson. What Money Can't Buy Money can buy A job, but not accomplishment. A house, but not a home. A pet, but not a friend. Medicine, but not health. Decorations, but not happiness. A ring, but not love. A book, but not a story. An education, but not knowledge. Glasses, but not sight. Toys, but not fun. Clothes, but not beauty. A piano, but not a song. Paper and pencil, but not words. A bed, but not sleep. Food, but not a meal. A window, but not a view. Money is the car, but not the driver. Giphy Hey, did you find this post helpful or entertaining? Please go ahead and share.

Faith Scriptures About Money 10:31 AM God knows we are creatures who have practical needs. He honors that need. -Bo Sanchez What does the scripture say about money? There are 2,350 verses in The Scriptures about money. That's more than the verses about heaven and hell put together. The Bible contains our basic instructions before leaving Earth. Every practical advice we need is written in the Scriptures. Money is not an exception. What does this mean? That God knows we are creatures who have earthly needs. When we're hungry, He knows we can't just pray for it to go away. We need to fill our stomach with food. God doesn't ignore or shy away with the idea of money and wealth. What does God want us to know about and put into practice when it comes to money? Scriptures about Money For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. -Timothy 6:10 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. -Proverbs 22:7 Go to the ant, sluggard; consider her ways and be wise; who having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provides her food in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest. -Proverbs 6:6-8 On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come. -1 Corinthians 16:2 You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired man are not to remain with you all night until morning. -Leviticus 19:13 (I wish our management is aware of this verse) Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. -Proverbs 10:4 Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles, but the one who gathers by labor increases it. -Proverbs 13:11 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” -Malachi 3:10 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat. -Proverbs 13:4 Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way... Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many wicked. -Psalms 37:7,16 Now my advice to you is to use 'money', tainted as it is, to make yourselves friends, so that when it comes to an end, they may welcome you into the houses of eternity. The man who is faithful in the little things will be faithful in the big things. So that if you are not fit to be trusted to deal with the wicked wealth of this world, who will trust you with true riches? -Luke 16:9-11 So you see, money per se is not evil. It is the love of money that drives people to do selfish and evil deeds. Money is a tool and a good servant. But if you're not careful, money becomes a sadistic master. Money has no brains. It can't think for itself. But you can. Don't let money govern your life and be your ruin. Let these scriptures about money guide you to the path of prosperity. After all, Jesus came that you may have life, and may have it abundantly. (John 10:10) See also: What Money Can't Buy The True Millionaire's Prayer
