The Twelve Million Dollar Question
I was talking to my best friend last night and began asking them some deep questions.
The first question I asked was, ‘What do you think you have been called to do in your lifetime?’ Finding it hard to answer this, there was a deafening silence that pervaded the atmosphere.
I then asked, ‘For what purpose have you been born for?’ Again no answer, accompanied by a puzzled facial expression.
I was determined to help them to unveil the answers to these tough questions, so I continued with, ‘What gets you mad? What gets you fired up?’ Once again they were unable to verbalize their true feelings.
So with a final ditch I asked the question that clinched the deal. ‘What would you do if you had twelve million dollars?’
‘Oh that’s easy,’ they replied. ‘I’d purchase a new house on property. I’d buy my children their own houses, and I’d purchase some new cars. I’d then invest a bunch. And I would really like to build houses for those orphans and their carers in Uganda…’ And on and on went the conversation as they clearly divulged their purpose, their calling and their passion.
So the final question for you as my reader is this: What would you do if you had twelve million dollars at your disposal?
And before you say, ‘Oh but I could never…’ STOP! Remember this, that ‘all things are possible to those who believe.’
