Which ONE would you choose?
 

LOVE? SUCCESS? WEALTH?

You can only chose ONE! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hello Sorors and sisterfriends!

I would definately choose LOVE!

I'd have to say SUCCESS because w/ success comes wealth, and love is overrated.

I would have to say SUCCESS.

I would like to be SUCCESSFUL in giving and receiving love.


I would like to be SUCCESSFUL in obtaining wealth ( mentally, emotionally, spititually, finacially)

I'm with the majority on this one.....Success

I would definitly choose success

Surprisingly, I'd choose Love.

I would choose success, because there is so much you can gain from being successful.

I would choose SUCCESS. It is very broad, yet upon achieving it I am happy in whatever I define as success.

I'm wit chu on this one!

I would choose love. The other two (wealth and success) would be absolutely meaningless without it. Look at the people who've achieved the other two and are/were miserable:

Phylis Hyman
Marilyn Monroe
Dorothy Dandridge
Robert Downey Jr.
Michael Jackson

to name a few...

love...success is overrated and subjective...success according to who and in what avenue...financially, educationally...wealth is also overrated...is is economic or spiritual...so...i'd say i'd rather have love...because without love...nothing else matters...you are empty and purposeless...

life would cease to exist without love...

Success

Success includes all aspects of your life, it includes a SUCCESSFUL love life, SUCCESSFUL career and we all know with a SUCCESSFUL career comes some amount of wealth.

http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif It is refreshing to see that there are others in agreement with me, I too would choose success. Love can give you misery and so can wealth, but to be successful you must love yourself and that is the best gift of all. Sawree...Did'nt mean to sound like Whitney Houston, lol

I'd choose LOVE. I often feel sad for people who are mega-wealthy and successful but are so unhappy in their lives because they have nobody to share that success and wealth with.

Love, for me, is defined three-fold. First, is SELF-LOVE. Without out it, you cannot Love another person nor can you truly have success. Second, is OUTWARD-LOVE - the Love you show and share with other people, whether its your spouse, partner, children, family or friends. Third, and perhaps should have been first, is CHRIST'S-LOVE - the Love I have for God, my heavenly father and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The returns on "Christ's Love" are far better than any salary or investment. And when you truly believe that, your blessing will be abundant.

All the money in the world could not replace that. Furthermore, I am a Christian woman and I believe that my Success and Wealth are in God's hands and only he can define that for me.

I would choose Love-God's Love because with his love, success and wealth would fall right into place

Success yields wealth and includes a successful love life.

God's love and our society's practice of love are two totally different things.

I would choose love. Love opens the door for success and wealth.

Here's a little story....

Love, Wealth, and Success

Whom Would YOU invite?


A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them, but she said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.

"No," she said. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in," they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in," her husband told her.

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We don't go into a house together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she wanted to know.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said, pointing to one of his friends, and pointing to the other one, said, "He is Success, and I am Love."

Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what the man had said.

Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice," he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth."

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house, and she jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will be filled with love."

"She's right. Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice", said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him.

Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love. Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success the other two of us would have stayed out. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him."

Wherever there is Love there is also wealth and success!

I would choose sucess because that would make me feel fulfilled and happy.....

This is exactly why I would choose success. It depends on how you choose to define "success". I'm successful and rich/wealthy in love.

Seeing as how the Sphinxpoet is already Loved by God and his riches are with his family and loves and the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF HIS FANS in his life then he would wish for success.

The Sphinxpoet

Being that LOVE does not pay the bills and WEALTH will not guarantee my happiness, I choose SUCCESS because like it was previously stated, success has no borderlines and it touches all aspects of personal being.

i would choose success b/c you can be successful in many things, your career, friendships, marriage, life in general...success doesn't necessarily exclude everything else

Definitely LOVE, money can't buy happiness, and success is nothing without someone to share your triumphs with. IMO http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

good point! I choose LOVE http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif w/o love, it's hard to be happy with just one of the other choices or even with both of them!

LOVE!

Nicely stated Audacity44 & prayerfull, I would also choose Love, a word quoted so many times in the bible. I feel I am successful already and I agree wealth is a bit OVERrated.

Success encomposses so much more than just wealth - you can be successful on your job, in your home (i.e. have a successful marriage, be successful in raising good children..), be successful in your prayer life...

So definately, I'd choose success!

I believe if one is sucessful, they have an abundance of wealth and love. So I would choose success.

I liked that story! I agree with you--with love--God's love--comes sucess and wealth...no matter how you define them. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

I would choose love because with the power of "love" behind you to support you and comfort you all other things in life can be achieved. Besides, for some people obtaining true and unconditional love is success.

Why does this sound like the interview part of the MISS AMERICA PAGEANT? http://plauder-smilies.de/wave.gif

Yall sound like a bunch of beauty queens. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/icon16.gif

But seriously, if REALLY had to choose I'd want to pick LOVE http://www.plauder-smilies.de/love/luxlove.gif

But since I've been there done that I'd pick SUCCESS. Oh yeah and WORLD PEACE. http://plauder-smilies.de/rough/comeandgetsome.gif

Have i ever said how much i love these little guys. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

THESE DAYS..WITH THE COST OF AN EDUCATION AND STUDENT LOANS........WEALTH INDEED

LOVE...

Because I LOVE to be in LOVE AND LOVED...
Because I LOVE to be successful... AND
Because I'd LOVE to become wealthy

Love.
I don't want to be Ebenezer Scrooge. It sounds like a depressing life. Success and Wealth aren't fun unless you have someone to share it with.

I would choose ........ success

First jali0004 nice story !!

Second Dirty Mike yeah there is a difference, but I "FEEL" LOVE encompasses all! And in my life I can't break the 2 apart, that is my life (society's practice) and God.

I would chose LOVE because I am a hopeless romantic.
