One Word and Many Things

Hello, I am a writer, and I'm called Jack Snider. For those that have followed me over the years or those that have recently had a peek at what I do, I am me.

Nevertheless, over the years my writing style has changed, for better and for worse. However, with every change and season there is an opportunity to reinvent yourself. While blogging is a wonderful thing and I have enjoyed it over the years, I believe a new fresh style of writing is in order.

As to how it will look, I'm not too sure, but I know one thing, I want to change the way I write to you guys. Whether I will write more or less is hard to tell. However, I'm willing to give it a shot, so let's see where this leads. Anyhow that's enough jawing off let's think about something and talk about how one word can change everything.

There are some words that will stick with you forever. It can be one line or just one word at times.

For those that have been in a relationship, you know two words that can change everything, love or goodbye.

In many ways I believe that words are powerful, but at the same time I don't believe they are powerful. What I think is powerful is sometimes the words that is behind them, that makes everything different, the feeling or passion.

But to say that it's always that would be wrong. Sometimes the most careless words make the most impact, or maybe they're the tipping point. Nevertheless, either way words hold great power, and sometimes they don't.

Which make words quite the grenade, that may go off or not. So should we walk on tip toes? Not really there's enough of that in our society to last a lifetime, but maybe just realize the words you say to those who you hold dear, because while others are more important, they are the ones who you will live or die for in this life.

I leave you with this thought, how can your words destroy or change the world?

Update

Hey guys,

All the Money In the World

You can be prosperous and you can be rich, but just because you are rich doesn’t mean you are prosperous. Prosperity means you are making more wealth with each passing day. Riches, means that you have a large sum of money, they are two different things, and there lies why some are people poor, and why some are rich.

If someone was to inherit a large sum of money, if someone was to find treasure, or if someone was to win the lottery, they would be rich. On the other hand, if someone built up a company from nothing and was receiving wealth from it or if someone was able to use their hands and with everything they touched they turned it to gold, you could say those individuals were prosperous.

The difference between those, is that riches are just something you got saddled with, but being prosperous is about you, as an individual making your own fortune. Furthermore, sometimes, with those who have riches, aren’t really wealthy, or truly well off. The reason so, is that the reason someone is prosperous is that they are are so because of their life choices.

Often those with riches squander it, because they never had the skills to deal with it, the maturity to deal with it, and the life lesson of earning those riches. With some people who do have sudden wealth, it can sometimes extenuate their reason for not having wealth in the first place: bad saving habits, caving into friends and family financial demands, etc. For instance, if someone won the lottery, they would most likely spend it on things that they could never have, meaning expensive items, and if not that, they spend it on others.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that the money is not well spent, it just means that riches are being depleted, but it also means that the money whether good or bad, is not being wisely spent on finding a way to make more of it.

It’s interesting how, no matter how many riches you can give someone, they will never be prosperous, just because of their outlook on money or the unwise choices that they choose to do with money. There is sometimes literally no way to help them with money. In fact, giving money can be the last thing you want to do, because it will make things worst.

There are many reasons people are rich, but there are only a few reasons for someone being prosperous. Just because you are rich does not mean you will always be so. Too often people want to be rich, yet don’t realize what it really entails. Being rich does not solve problems, because sometimes the reason people are not rich is the very reason they will not be so, even if they had riches.

There is nothing wrong with being rich, but at the end of the day, if you cannot handle what you have, you will not be able to handle what you don’t have.
