YOU HAVE WEALTH UNDER YOUR NOSE
By Bo Sanchez
> From his book: You Have the Power to Create

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

"Bro, this girl in my office is a real looker," many a husband will say.
"But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm head over heels
with her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender-- so many
things that my wife has not."

Sure.

Guys, trust me on this. Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman who
will be more charming. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Be a
better cook. Have greater sex appeal. Be a more efficient
housekeeper.
And you will find a woman who will need you and pursue you and go loco
over you more than your wife ever did.

Because no wife is perfect.

Because a wife will only have 90% of what you're looking for.

So adultery takes place when a husband looks for the missing 10%.

Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself
drawn
to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: "I
broke my arm yesterday, LOL..." Or because your wife is a homebody
in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall
for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office
in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt. Or
because your wife is the quiet type (a rare find), your heart may skip a
beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk
show host like Oprah.

But wait! That's only 10% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 90% that you already have!

That's not all. Add to your wife's 90% the 1000% that represents all the
years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered
together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The
many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories
that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. But
faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already
have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage.

I'm talking about life!

About your jobs. About your friends. About your children. About your
prayer groups. About your lifestyles.

Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks
through
the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing?
"They
have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow,
their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!" I
guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip!

Don't live your life like that.

Forget about what the world says is first class. (Do you know that there
are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class --
because they're not riding in a private Lear Jet?)

My main message: If you start to be thankful for what you have right
now,
wherever you are is first class!

You have wealth under your nose. Be Thankful.

Thanks Pau, this sounds like a very quick version of the LEFT BEHIND series!

I've been aware all I want or need is right under my nose for many years now.

What I want is truly right under my nose... I just have to look down!

My husband is the most amazing man I've ever laid eyes on. I feel truly blessed to have him in my life.

Pau, that was inspirational. Cool

You come up with very thought-provoking posts.

We all need a gentle reminder to be thankful for what we already have.
