Which ONE would you choose?

[Audacity44]

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

[dirtymike1906]

Success yields wealth and includes a successful love life.

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

[jali0004]

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!

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.

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

[THICKNCHOCLATE]

Definitely LOVE, money can't buy happiness, and success is nothing without someone to share your triumphs with. IMO

Michael Jackson

to name a few...

good point! I choose LOVE w/o love, it's hard to be happy with just one of the other choices or even with both of them!

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.

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.
