Stewardship is one of the Mavidea values.

It’s one of those concepts that is not the easiest to nail down.

An example of stewardship that I think of frequently is the lotto winner.

I have seen statistics about how money lotto winners lose all the money or end up really unhappy.

And I think it begins with stewardship.

If the lotto winner wasn’t already a good steward of their money, it all goes away, just like their money did before they won the lottery. Winning changed their circumstance, but it doesn’t automatically change the person.

Winning the lottery doesn’t create a millionaire, being a good steward of money does.

This is why stewardship is so important. We must learn to be good stewards when the amounts are small.

Whether it is our money, our time or our relationships, we must manage what we have now well if we wish to have and be more.

Challenge yourself. Think of a resource that you steward. Pick something small.

Now think of something you could do to steward that resource more wisely.

Do it. Start now.

Make it a great day.
