    I strived for everything I thought i wanted in life. The day i finally got everything, I felt empty. I finally realised that what i always wanted would not bring me joy. I turned my back on all of it. I gave my life to God, and gave up all my wants. I gave up my wants, but God then gave me my needs. I found real joy. The happiness that I gathered could be snatched away in seconds. The joy that i have now can not be taken by anybody.

      Pmar Memr I don’t think making enough money to survive and working out to stay fit is wrong but just don’t obsess over these things or try to go overboard. I think making your relationship with God the top priority should be your main focus. I could be wrong though I haven’t even finished this video yet.

    Great video. This is one to save and rewatch. In my twenties, I thought my academic accomplishments would bring me fulfillment. In my thirties, I got married to feel fulfilled. None of those pursuits and accomplishments fulfilled me. I am thankful for what I learned from those experiences, however. Fulfillment only comes through Christ. We should be thankful for what we achieve but we shouldn’t define ourselves by our achievements. There are elderly people who still tell me to pursue prestige and marriage. This poor advice reminds me of what not to do.

  • @jasonsherwood7539

    For me I feel pressure from the judgment of other people, especially family or materialistic Christians. When I go to a reunion of some kind, they will share their financial, academic or other accomplishments with one another and then turn to me. If I don't have an accomplishment to share I will sense their contempt and probably become a topic of discussion at my expense.
    The fear of having to endure that used to have A LOT of control over me. Now, I just avoid that kind of setting. I realize what I love and what they love are very different things. The Christians who do that still bother me, though. I often get compared to my brother who has made a lot of money and works in a church. I too have made money, but I don't give it much thought. His successes seem to be well known, though, while mine are not. Since his money has earned a lot of esteem in church circles, I often feel inferior when people want to talk about his money with me.
    Great discussion! 👍🏼

      Forgive them! They probably have insecurities from grief, or trauma and have thaught themselves that money equals happyness.
      Don't feel bothered/angry, try to see that they act that way from anger and/or pain. That way you can see the hurt in their heart and forgive them with love.
      Following Jesse, God revealed the truth to me about a lot of things I was angry about in other people;
      I was either projecting my own bad behaviour/hurt on people and getting angry at 'them', or I was suffering from their anger and discovered it came from their own grief and hurt.
      After God came into my life, I could see. He revealed my hurt, allowing me to forgive it and allowed me to see the real heart of people. Discover the hurt in their anger, which allows me to forgive the most wicked of people.

    So at the end Jesse gave us a couple scriptures. Can somebody explain what these passages have anything to do with his message...
    Here they are:
    Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”
    John 4:12 NKJV
    And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.
    I Corinthians 14:25 NKJV
    It's almost as if he threw some random passages out there... and he said, "Corinthians 14:25" instead of, "FIRST Corinthians 14:25." If I hadn't known there is no 14th chapter in 2nd Corinthians it would have been even more confusing than it already is. I love this man but he needs to know his Bible!

    I tried nonachievement and financial failure, and it was a complete disaster! I had retreated, surrendered, and gave up all my ambitions-it was the most selfish thing I could do. Having just enough to maintain existence with nothing to give anybody else actually brought me misery, sadness and apathy. I was irritable all the time and found everything extraordinarily annoying… because I was losing in life. I, however, did do the prayer thing every night, fasted, forgave my parents, did what was in front of me to do, and let go of all anger. And all that is great, but just doing those things aren’t enough to create a life worth living. You should strive to help others, chase freedom, and try your hardest at reaching your full potential to make a positive impact in the world. You should accomplish things now so you and your family don’t have to suffer later. You should take control of everything in your life and assume ownership of all outcomes and never blame others. You should be able not only to pull your own weight, but other’s also. That’s when life happens, the color comes back into the world, and your suffering is no longer in vain. I know if Donald Trump didn’t pursue success he wouldn’t be doing what he is doing right now. Just remember this: if you think success doesn’t matter, you will not have it.

      When you're young your ego makes you seek after success, and makes a man pursue a woman. Eventually you're supposed to overcome your ego. When you're about what's right, and not about ego, you continue to work.

    There's a German comedian, that made a quite deep joke: Imagine a lion, laying in the African savanna would suddenly weak up and think 'economically'. Instead of eating a a buffalo once he's hungry and only seeks neat again when hungry, he now hunts as much as possible. WOW! Great job lion, you have amassed 10 buffalos, but now what? He needs to store them and build a fridge to store them appropriately. The lion still isn't happy with his situation and the next day hunts down 50 buffalos. Oh man, now he needs to export his slay to other lions and starts building a truck fleet. In the end, the lion has no moment for himself, he can't just lay down in the grass for hours on time after a kill. The lion feels cheated. Yet we humans, need to be 'ambitious', 'hustling' our way through life. We are actually the most stupid species on this planet...
