Sunday

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Proverbs 4:23

መፀሐፈ ምሳሌ4:23
አጥብቀህ ልብህን ጠብቅ፥ የሕይወት መውጫ ከእርሱ ነውና።

If you want to be able to fight the persistent temptations in your life, you need to know what makes you vulnerable to Satan’s efforts.
Ephesians 4:27 says, “Do not give the devil a foothold”. Don’t give Satan a place in your life to start leveraging your weaknesses and get you messed up.
What’s the most common foothold you can give Satan that allows him to push all these temptations? It’s any negative emotion. Anytime you have a negative emotion, you’ve just given Satan a foothold in your life, and you’re going to be more vulnerable than at any other time to temptation. That’s why the Bible says in Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it”.
Your heart sits at the center of your emotions. But to defeat temptation, don’t focus on your behavior and what you’re about to do. Instead, identify the thoughts you’re having and the feelings that come out of those thoughts.
That’s how Satan hooks you—not with your behavior but with your thoughts. He plays with your emotions every day of your life. He hooks your feelings. He is a master manipulator of your moods. Satan gets certain emotions stirring by influencing your thoughts and causing you to doubt God’s Word.
Once he’s got you emotionally involved, you’re cooked. When your emotions have kicked in, the behavior is going to happen. Satan knows your negative emotions will lead you to sin.
You are far more vulnerable to temptation when you’re experiencing negative emotions. Satan knows what they are and will work them for your destruction. Shouldn’t you know what they are too?
The only way you’ll be able to fight any persistent temptation in your life is to identify the emotions that make you vulnerable. Then refocus your mind on God’s Word so that you can replace those negative emotions with God’s love.

Have a blessed Sunday!

Success demands these 6 things..

(The Secret Formula)

1. Hard Work

Don't believe in luck, believe in hard work.

Stop trying to rush the process or searching for a shortcut.

There is none.

2. Patience

If you are losing the patience, you are losing the battle.

First nothing happens, then it happens slowly and suddenly all at once.

Most people give up at stage one.

3. Sacrifice

If you don't sacrifice for what you want, then what you want becomes the sacrifice.

Everything has its price. The question is: Are you ready to pay it for the life you desire?

4. Consistency

Consistency is what transforms average into excellence.

Without consistency, you will never achieve greater success.

5. Discipline

Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing.

There will be days when you don't “feel” like doing it.

You have to push through those days regardless of how you feel.

6. Self Confidence

Confidence is, I'll be fine if they don't like me.

What’s the difference between being worth $10m+ and $1B+?

I came across this thread on Twitter written by Trung Phan and deemed it badass enough to be shared.

Stay with me to the end, I 100% guarantee you’ll love it.

Here we go:

A Redditor who runs in High Net Worth circles writes on the “gradations of the rich’.

He explains in minute detail the difference between being worth $10m+ and $1B+

It’s a doozy.

As background: The Redditor says while he’s not super rich yet himself, he counts 8 billionaires as close friends.

He says there are 4 major breaking points of wealth:

1. $10m - $30m
2. $30m - $100m
3. $100m - $1B
4. $1B+
At $10m to $30m:

• Needs met

• Flies First Class

• Very nice house

• Live 4/5 star life anywhere on the planet

• You can survive a financial disaster

• At lower end, you still have to be “prudent”

• Business stress remains (never goes away)

• Banks don’t classify you as Ultra-High Net-Worth
At $30m to $100m:

At this point, you start playing with the big boys.

You can fly private (though you normally charter a flight or own a jet fractionally through Net Jets or the likes).

You stay at 5 star hotels.

You have multiple residences.

You vacation in prime-time

(you rent a ski-in, ski-out villa in Aspen for Christmas week or go to Monaco for the Grand Prix, or Cannes for the Film Festival; for what it’s worth, rent here is $15k - $20k a night)

You run or have a controlling interest in a big company.

You socialize with Congressmen, Senators and Community Leaders, and you are an extremely well-respected member in any community outside the world’s great cities.

(In Beverly Hills, you are a minor player at $80 million. Unless you really throw your weight around and pay a much higher price for things, you might not get a table at the city’s hottest restaurant).

You can buy any car you want.

You have personal assistants and are starting to have ‘people’ that others have to talk to, to get to you.

You can travel ANYWHERE in any style.

You can buy pretty much anything that normal people think of as “rich people stuff”
At $100m to $1B+:

I know it’s a wide range but life doesn’t change much when you go from being worth $200m to $900m.

At this point, you have a private jet, multiple residences with staff, elite cars ownership or significant control over a business/entity that most of the public have heard about.

If it’s your thing, you can socialize with movie stars/politicians/rock stars/corporate elite/aristocracy.

[For the men, you can date whatever type of woman you want, be it a movie star, rock star, corporate elite, politician or aristocrat]

You might not get the invite to every party, but you can go pretty much everywhere you want.

You definitely have ‘people’ and staff. The world is full of ‘yes men’.

Your ability to buy things becomes an ‘art’.

Starting to be cool, but it depends on the Island.

You just had dinner with Senator X and Governor Y at your home? Cool. But your billionaire friend just had dinner with the President.

You have a new Ferrari? Your friend thinks their steering handling sucks and has a classic only-five-exists-in-the-world-type of car instead.

One thing that gets rare at this level? Friends and Family that love you for who you are.

They exist. But it’s pretty damn hard to know which ones they are.
At $1B+

This section is longer but he goes through things you can buy at this level:

• Access
• Influence
• Time
• Experiences
• Impact
• Respect

(Side Note: We are going to exclude the $10B+ crowd because they live a Head-Of-State life. But at $1B+, life changes. You can buy ANYTHING. In broad terms, below are the kind of things you can buy:)
ACCESS

You can just ask your staff to contact anyone and you will get a call back.

I have seen this first hand and it is mind-blowing the level of access and respect $1B+ gets you.

In this case, I wanted to speak with a very well-known businessman (call him Billionaire #1) for a project that interested Billionaire #2.

I mentioned that it would be good to talk to Billionaire #1 and B2 told me that he didn’t know him.

But he called his assistant in. “get me the ### golf club directory. Call B1 at home and tell him I want to talk to him.”

Within 60 minutes, we had a call back. I was at B1’s home talking to him the next day.

B2’s opinion commanded that kind of respect from a peer. Mind blowing.

The same is true with access to almost any Senator/Governor of a Billionaire’s party (because in most cases, he is a significant donor).

You meet on an ooccasional basis with heads-of-state and have real conversations with them. Which leads to…
INFLUENCE

As a billionaire, you have many ways to shape public policy and the public debate, and you use them.

This is not in any evil way. The ones I know are passionate about ideas and are trying to do what they feel is best (just like you would).

But they just had an hour with the Governor privately, or with the Secretary of Health, or the BuyAds or Lobbyists.

The amount of Influence you have can be heady.
TIME

You literally never wait for anything. Travel? You fly private.

Show up at the airport, sit down in the plane, the door closes, and wheels are up in 2 minutes, and you fly directly to where you are going.

The plane waits for you. If you decide you want to leave at any time, you drive (or take a helicopter to the airport if there’s traffic) and you leave.

The pilots and stewardess are your employees.

Golf? Your club is so exclusive, there is always a Tee time and no wait [You can enter at any time, they’ll give you a caddy and you start playing. There is no schedule that you have to wait for].

Going to the Super bowl or Grammy’s? You are whisked behind velvet ropes and escorted past any/all lines to the best seats in the house.
EXPERIENCES

Dream of it and you can have it. Want to play tennis with Roger Federer? Call his people. For a donation of $500k+ to his charity, you could probably play a match with him.

Like Beyonce? There is a price where they would simply come play at your private party.

Love art? Your people could arrange for the curator of the Louvre to show you around and even show you masterpieces that have not been exhibited in years.

Love Formula 1? How about racing Lewis Hamilton on a closed track?

Love Science? You can have dinner with Neil dGT.

Love politics? Have Hilary Clinton come speak at a dinner for you and your friends. Just pay her speaking fee.

Your mind is the only limit to what is available.

Because donations/fees gets you anyone.

The same is true with things.

You like Pianos? How about owning one Mozart used to compose music on?

This is the type of stuff you can do.
IMPACT

Your money can literally change the world and change lives.

It is almost too much of a burden to think about.

Clean water for a whole village forever? Chump change.

A dying child needs a transplant? Hell… you could just build and fund a hospital and do it for an entire region.
RESPECT

The respect you get at this level is just over-the-top.

You are THE MAN in almost every circle.

Governors look up to you. Fortune 500 CEOs look up to you. Presidents, Prime Ministers and Heads-of-State look at you as a peer.
PERSPECTIVE

The wealthiest person I have spent time with makes about $400m per year.

I couldn’t get my head around that until I did this maths.
Okay. Let’s compare it with someone who makes $40,000/year. It is 10,000 times more.

Now, let’s look at prices the way he might.

A new Lambo? $235,000 becomes $23.50.

First class ticket internationally? $10,000 becomes $1

A full time executive level helper? $8,000/month becomes $0.8/month.

A $10m Picasso piece of art you love? $1,000. A bit expensive, so you may have to plan for that. Lol.

A suite at the best hotel in New York City? $10,000/night becomes $1/night.

A $50m home in the Bahamas? $5,000.

There is literally nothing you can’t buy except
LOVE

Sorry to sound so trite, but it is nearly impossible to have a normal emotional relationship at this level. It is hard to sacrifice for another person when you are never asked to sacrifice ANYTHING.

Money can solve all the problems for someone, so you offer it because there is so much else to do.

Your time is SOOOOOO valuable that you ration it obsessively. And that makes you lose connections with people.

Seeing all these may or may not make you want to get into the top tier.

Different lives have the same emotional degree of difficulty, all things being equal.

I met Sylvester Stallone at a party a few months back for the first time.

Great guy. Has a beautiful, smart wife and a great career.

But he had a special needs son who died young.

Nobody has it all. Nobody.
