BAD – It isn’t what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it’s what we say to ourselves about what happens. – Pema Chodron

A million dollars sure does seem like a lot, but something I have been thinking about lately is how much money we are likely to be responsible for over our lifetime.

If you work from when you are 18 until you are 68 (50 years) and if you average $20,000 per year you will have made $1,000,000 over your life time.

This shows the power of our everyday decisions.

It shows the power of having a monthly budget.

You are likely to responsible for $1,000,000 or more in your life. The question is, what are you going to do with it?

And the same thing goes for your time and other resources in your life.

We don’t seem to have much time, money or resources, but if you add it up, it will be more than it seems.

We are all stewards of abundant resources. Let’s manage them well.

Make it a great day.
