MY BELOVED SARAH...!!!

"I also want to acknowledge my dear, beloved Sarah, my young friend and Attorney. ..........I hereby bequeath to you, Sarah Marie Anderson, the sum of Seven hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($750,000)." That was an... Excerpt from a Novel I am reading.....THE HOUSE by Danielle Steel. Pg 132, 134 & 135.

I have to pause to share the story with you.

That was Sarah, an Attorney, reading a letter left for her by her late client. She was surprised that he left her $750,000 out of his estate. To her, it was breathtaking and she confessed, "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'LL DO WITH THE MONEY".

She was reminded of a statement by the old man in the letter, "You heard what he said. Use it. Don't hoard it. Follow your dream". said one of the heirs.

Guess what her response was........." I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MY DREAMS WERE. I HAVE NEVER TAKEN TIME TO ASK MYSELF THAT QUESTION".

Uh!!!!! That's where I am driving at.

I guess you are not like Sarah? A successful Attorney at 38.......Have No Idea of What Her Dreams Were.

If you were to be in her shoes, someone gave you $750,000, do you have an idea of what you will do with it? You may think you have...but your idea may result in burning the money rather than planting it. That old man in the book left over $400 Million worth of Estate for his heirs. And guess what, he came to San Francisco with just $100 as a young man.

Start working out your plan today, never wait till the millions come. Birth the idea and begin the journey toward developing it. The idea comes before finance.

Plus, take time now to ask yourself that question........WHAT IS MY DREAM? 

Do not be like "my dear, beloved Sarah".
