LOVE, SUCCESS AND WEALTH<br />

A young woman heard a knock on her door one day. When<br />

she went to open it, she found an old man on her door step.<br />

“Come in, come in,” she said. The man asked, “Is your husband<br />

home?” The woman explained that her husband was<br />

not home, but she invited the man inside anyway.<br />

He refused, however. “I am here with my two friends,”<br />

pointing to two elderly men waiting in the front yard. “However,<br />

we will wait outside until your husband returns.”<br />

That evening as soon as the husband came home, his wife<br />

told him what had happened. “Quick, quick, call them inside,”<br />

the husband exclaimed. “We cannot leave old men<br />

standing in the cold outside.”<br />

So, the woman went outside and beckoned the men in. One<br />

of them rose and said, “Ma’am, we actually cannot all three<br />

come in. You see, I am Love, and with me are Success and<br />

Wealth. Only one of us can enter your home. Please, go<br />

and ask your husband which of us he would like in the home.”<br />

So, the woman went and — relaying the story to her husband<br />

— said, “I think we should invite Success in. Then,<br />

you will get the promotion you’ve been waiting for and we<br />

will become more prosperous.”<br />

However, the husband thought and said, “But, Honey, I<br />

only want the promotion so we can be rich. If we invite<br />

Wealth into our home, then it won’t matter if I get the<br />

promotion, because we will already be rich. I think Wealth<br />

is a better choice.”<br />

Their daughter then quietly spoke, “Mom, Dad. Let us bring<br />

Love into the home. If we have Love with us, then we won’t<br />

care so much about Success or Wealth. We will be rich on<br />

the inside.”<br />

Her parents thought for a moment and finally acquiesced<br />

to their daughter’s wish. So, the woman went outside and –<br />

addressing the man who had introduced himself as Love —<br />

said, “Okay, we have decided. You can come inside.” So,<br />

Love took a step forward and began to walk toward the<br />

house. As he passed through the doorway, the woman noticed<br />

the other two men following. “Wait,” she exclaimed.<br />

“We have chosen Love. You said that only one could come<br />

inside.”<br />

Love then paused and explained gently, “If you had chosen<br />

either Success or Wealth he would have had to enter alone.<br />

However, wherever Love goes, Success and Wealth always<br />

follow.”<br />

If you ask most parents what their concerns are regarding<br />

their children, you’ll hear “I want him to get into a good<br />

university. I want her to get a good job and be successful.”<br />

Time and energy are therefore expended in pushing the<br />

child academically, encouraging the child to excel, punishing<br />

or reprimanding the child for less than superb performance.<br />

Yet, a degree from a top university, a well pay-<br />
