Comments on: The Rich Get Richer circa 2006 http://persistenceunlimited.com/2006/10/the-rich-get-richer-circa-2006/ Goal Setting and Productivity for People Who Like Technology Sun, 02 Jan 2011 05:23:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Andrew Seltz http://persistenceunlimited.com/2006/10/the-rich-get-richer-circa-2006/comment-page-1/#comment-1342 Andrew Seltz Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:01:27 +0000 http://persistenceunlimited.com/2006/10/the-rich-get-richer-circa-2006/#comment-1342 Brad, Great post. My particular 'blindness to my riches' concerns how much of my knowledge and experience is valuable to other people. I find it easy to think that what seems 'obvious' to me is obvious to everyone. But then I'll give some advice to a friend or speak up in a meeting and realize that something I said was completely hidden to the people I was speaking too. In that is the value I can offer to others. I've always connected the Matthew 13:12 passage with the parable of the talents. The multiplication of abundance is connected to what you DO with what you have and the primary difference between those that 'have' and those that 'have not' is their perception of what they have been given (life) and what they do with it. Thanks for the inspiring post! Brad,
