what would you do if you had an unlimited amount of money?
Lynn
I often dreamabout winning the lottery and what I would do if I did. I love animals and my heart goes out to people who have animals and can't afford treatmets and surgery to keep their pets alive. If I were to have a lot of money, I would go back to school and become a veterinarian and open up a free clinic where people could bring their pets to me and I would provide free care. I would donate to multiple charities and fund many different programs to help out those in need. It really bothers me that people are losing their homes and children are starving and yet there is nothing being done to help these people out. Or government is bailing out companies and yet the people who need help the most are suffering. Why do we put such a highprice and priority on things that really aren't that important? we pay ball players millions to play ball and yet our cops have low pay and yet they save lives. Our teachers mold and shape minds of young ones and doctors treat and save lives. Our troops protect and serve and yet they do not have the fame and glory that the movie stars have. Will things ever change? Will we ever get our priorities straight?

It’s obvious that you are feeling the same frustration many
of us have felt when we notice that change needs to happen on this planet and
it doesn’t seem to be happening fast enough.
It really bothers me that people are losing their homes and children
are starving and yet there is nothing being done to help these people
out.
I used to believe this thought too until I
realized that everyday organizations are being formed to help others
not to mention those that have been in existence for years. It’s
amazing to read about some of the stories of children that are helping
to create change by inspiring adults to donate money, clothing, etc to
those in need.
The government has been bailing people out
for years (even those unwilling to help themselves.) I know this first
hand because when I was younger I found myself with no place to live
etc…and each time I was provided for by different organizations or
people noticing that I needed help and reaching out to me.
One time someone noticed I had no shoes
and she had her husband go to the store and buy me a pair. We were both
hospitalized at the time and she could have easily focused on her own
situation,but instead she noticed my needs and filled them. This is
what each of us must do and whether we currently have a little or a
lot. We CAN make a difference!
Like Mahatma Ghandi said we have to BE the change we wish to see.
So it’s up to all of us to change our priorities.
If we don’t like the fact that celebrities, ball players etc… are being
paid millions than we have to choose not to support them financially
any longer.
Or we can take an even funner approach and
become Millionaires ourselves so that we can experience everything our
heart’s desire such as no more debt, nice vacations etc….AND reach out
and help others who don’t yet believe they too are free to create
wealth and abundance.
