I would buy Jan the most darling dress ever!

Interesting question. I am not someone who seeks instant success or dreams about it, but if I was surprised with instant weath, what would I do.

I like to think I would be generous and would use the money in ways that would make a difference for those around me, but I suspect that I would do far less than that. My guess is that as rapidly as my bank accounts grew, so would my temptation to use money as security and to hold onto it "just in case".

I have been blessed with the ability to work hard and the opportunity to be paid well for what I do; blessed with the foresight to save some aside and buy and sell at the right times, allowing me to protect my family and my grandchildren's future. My goal is to live generously and not just give from my excess but to give as I am given opportunity. That means when I cross paths with someone who is asking for help, or stopping in my busy tracks to listen to someone who's need is my time, or contributing to a charity that is able to multiply my gift.

Maybe I am wrong but I think this is the lottery. That it's not how much I have or how much I give, but rather, what I value and how I share.

I am fully aware that taking care of my family and their future first, is in fact selfish and contradicts my goal to live generously. I find it incredibly difficult to not live selfishly, but I will continue to try and figure it out..
