One of the big stories in the news today was about the estate of Leona Helmsley. She was a real estate billionaire who, in her will, left a $12 million trust fund to her dog, a white Maltese. She also left $5 million apiece to two of her grandchildren while the other two grandchildren get nothing. The dog got more than all the grandchildren combined.
I can’t believe the insanity of the whole situation. This is just another prime example proving that money does not make the person. I fear that too many people believe that they’ll change once they’ve “arrived”. If you’re stingy, resentful, or begrudging, no amount of money will change that.
You won’t be more charitable if you had millions of dollars. You won’t treat those around you with respect because you no longer have to worry about money. Decide what kind of person you’d like to be, what qualities you admire in others, and start becoming that person and developing those qualities. You don’t want to end up like Mrs. Helmsley.
