Sunday Thought 37

Financial loss. We all experience it. Whether it’s misplacing a few dollars, losing a wallet, or losing in the stock market, we have all experienced the pain and frustration of losing money. How do we handle it then?

Some of us get angry, frustrated. Others double their efforts to regain what was lost. A few give up hope. And there are those that can just move on.

How we react to loss can tell us a lot about our hearts, what we value, what we think is important, and what we rely and trust in. I hope that your trust is not in riches. That your “world” does not revolve around money, but that your world revolves around family, friends, and the things that are truly important.
