IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY
IMAGE SOURCE
A million Dollars is a huge amount of money. We all know that there are a lot of things that money can and cannot buy. In My country, a million dollars is equivalent to N750,000,000(Seven Hundred and Fifty Million Naira) wow, So tempting.
imagine not being able to afford three square meals in a day, living in an apartment not so conducive for you and your family that you share a public toilet, and a public kitchen, you have to fetch water for everything you want to do, the roads are so bad that you cannot park your car in the yard you live in, you cannot send your children to a good school, paying medical bills is a big problem, lots of ugly situations that can affect you to accepting a million dollars just to feel fulfil your long desire to get rich.
With the current situation of my country's economy, such money is huge to enable me to pay my bills, enjoy my big dreams in reality and live very comfortably.
I WOULD NEVER TRADE A MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A SHORT LIFE ON EARTH: life is sweet and beautiful, although not everyone was born with a silver spoon. some came from a poor home, some from average wealthy parents and some are very wealthy. in all, we know life is beautiful when we have a roof over our heads, give our children an average good life, food to eat and be able to pay our bills. We can be happy in our little way where we can live a happy healthy long life to see our next two generations (children's children).
Trading my long life on earth for a million dollars, i cannot trade my long life for a short life on earth.MY FAITH IN GOD: Born in a Christian family I understood the bible, my faith in God and how to live a righteous life. At an early stage of my childhood, I experience the power of God through faith and the word of God (Bible), since then I always pray and put my faith and trust in God.
MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS: A Good Family and friends are the best things that can happen to you when the going gets tough. When you feel like everyone is against you, real and true friends will always be there for you. I cannot trade them for a million dollars to lose the love and trust they have for me.
MY RESPECT: "A good name is better than riches", I cannot be known in society as a rich thief, I automatically lose my respect.
MY PEACE OF MIND: Peace of mind allows me to go to bed and wake up without worries. I did a job for a client and I had serious issues with the job I was almost losing faith in myself, and I had no peace. only the fear of the unknown was all I see around me. I prayed, got the root cause of the problem, fix it and got my peace back.
CONCLUSION
Life is beautiful its not all about money. A good name is better than riches that could be taken away anytime. The list above is some of life’s best gifts that don’t cost a penny at all.
Thanks for reading.
This is in respect of #Hivelearners community contest week 46 edition 1. Topic Title: A million Dollars
Great points you have here. Nothing on this earth can replace God. After all, the Almighty can take all away in a minute.
Am telling you, the almighty rules all on earth and in heaven. Money shouldn't be traded with Gods love. Thanks for sharing
I really love your arrangement. Money isn’t everything indeed. It can be tempting at times but it is still not everything. There are things we shouldn’t do for money no matter how much it worth.
Thanks for Sharing with us.
As much as I agree with you, I think in today's world, people don't "respect" a good name anymore. At least where I come from. Who do you think will be respected more, An honest farmer or a yahoo boy? On the basis of right and wrong, sure you have a point. But money redefines "respect".
You are very correct when you say
But that's what todays topic is all about. The job of a Yahoo boy is to take what does not belong to him making the other person unhappy. As a child of God it's not a good one.
I wouldn't be a yahoo boy at the unhappiness of another person.

Nice one!
Imagine having everything and still die very young, and possibly end up in hell too. God forbid.
Money is good but let it be genuine with outmost peace. No troubles!
Am telling you dear, God forbid oh
Am so glad for your understanding and for sharing your opinion it means alot to me. Thanks alot
That money is huge and can fulfill one's dream in life, but at the same time, we should consider what we ought not to do just to get that amount. It's not about the money again, but your self-image which might be at stake if you ever try doing what you shouldn't have done.
This is so true even though the children of today don't mind self-image but only time would tell them. Am so sorry for responding late, work traffic on our Lagos Road has been something else. Thanks for stopping by

Our peace of mind is important and cannot be traded even for a million dollars.
My dear, that peace of mind is very important I know what am saying because I have been in a situation where I lost it for some weeks, I thank God for divine intervention. Long story I would share soon. Thanks dear for stopping by
I'm happy you got through it. Situations like that are not usually easy to get through.
You're welcome too.
Hello floraada is great to see you will never let your faith in God change despite all the money and I will say that’s a beautiful thing .
My dear this world is not our own we are just passing through, how you live your life matters alot. Gaining all the things in the world example money and losing your soul it's the worst that can happen to you. My faith in God matters to me. Thanks for stopping by.
I loved your points, God should be our top most priority cause He rules in the affairs of men. His ways aren't our ways so why worry on things that we can leave or either leave us in the tickle of an eye. Thanks for sharing this
God is overall, I was so excited about the topic because I could express myself. Thanks for sharing
You are most welcome
