Greed Should be a Four Letter Word

The following post is for those who have already found their sweet spot, and are already living in it. If you are still in the process of finding your sweet spot, or you know what it is, but have not yet figured out how to turn it into what you do for a living, you should continue on that journey. This post is geared more toward those that are already living in their sweet spot. That is not to say that those of you still working toward the sweet spot won't receive anything from this post. By all means, continue reading. It will be something to keep in mind for when you have achieved your sweet spot goals.

If you are successful in finding your sweet spot, just as God intended, you should feel lucky. Even though God designed you, as well as everyone else, to live in your sweet spot, there are many people (the majority of the population), who do not know what it is that they have a passion for. However, just because you have found your sweet spot, doesn't mean that there aren't still things that you need to think about when it comes to your sweet spot, and what it is you were meant to be doing. As almost everyone knows, anytime that we are doing what God has planned for us, Satan is going to step in and make waves. This is what happens when we let greed take over in our lives. Statistically speaking, we are a much greedier nation than we were years ago. We think we need to have material things. We think that we need to compete with others in order to be successful. This is simply not the case. In order to be a success, we need to be happy. Competing with coworkers, family members, neighbors, etc. does not create happiness. It actually takes away from happiness by creating stress.

Although God wants you to have the best life possible, that doesn't mean that you need to have more "stuff" than anyone else. The happiest people are the people who have exactly what they need, and enjoy their lives. Keep this in mind while you are living in your sweet spot, and don't let greed cause you to step out of your sweet spot.

Greed is one of the worst words in our vocabulary, and it really should be considered one of the four letter words.
