I guess almost everyone dream of being rich and famous; unless you are born with a golden spoon in your mouth. Like many others, me too. Who doesn't want to be rich and better still famous in the right way?
Me too want to drive a Lamborghini, own a huge townhouse with swimming pool, own companies, become a billionaire, appear on Forbes, appear on TIME, appear on TV shows and do charities.
Just read an article in W magazine on the interview of Ellen Degeneres. Amazing story of how and why she became who she is today. I guess every rich and famous have his/her own heartfelt stories behind their success. I really look up to those who came from not well-to-do family, faced problems in their life, once being called failures yet now able to stand up straight facing the world. People like Elim Chew, Ellen Degeneres, Bill Gates and many more. Those born with a golden spoon in their mouth but still able to shine in the right way; good for you.
My dream is to travel and reach out to those in need. Travelling needs money, reaching out needs money, building churches needs money; everything need money in the world now. I want to be rich, not fully for my own comfort but also to support this dream of mine. I want to be famous for the right reason, so that people can see God's grace in me. I've seen poverty in my eyes, having nothing left in my wallet; I don't want to live in that all my life. But will being rich and famous draw me away from God? I don't want to be stuck in the office working 16 hours a day, attending coperates meetings on Saturday, deal with office politics. Can I deal with something of my passion and become rich and famous still?
Of course I can! In God, all things are possible. Why worry now? Cast the worry aside, God has it in His hands!! Lord, all of my dreams and plans... let it come from You. All the decisions that I made, let it be wise. All the events I will go through, let me and others learn.
I know I can excel in my future career and still able to fulfill my childhood dreams of being a missionary :)
