What is God’s favorite joke?
Let’s hear it!

Whether we talk about a small pool of $1000 or a giant one like the world money supply, we are talking about the same thing.
Money Flows: where does it goes?
Like water, it will irrigate some regions and not others, irrigating some lands and letting others dry.
But in this digital world, physical or geographical barriers become more and more irrelevant.
So, the flow of money moves towards the individual who knows how to capture it, regardless of their geographic location.
Have you ever seen a river in a desert?
But the individual who attracts money cannot be isolated; they are part of an environment to which they contribute to various degrees. In other words, that individual is part of a group of similar individuals whose knowledge and skills are at similar levels…
together, they constitute the land that will be more or less irrigated by the flow of money,
How can you join the group of Money Makers?
It is true that an individual’s skills and knowledge can be highly influenced by the group or environment they are part of.
But how can you get closer if you are not part of it?
It starts with you. You must study or learn new things at a constant rate, expose yourself to unconventional ideas, and challenge personal assumptions, which sometimes requires more courage than intellectual ability.
This may result in your increased value and strengthen your relationships with individuals from that group.
Yes, the group will boost your skills and increase your money-making skills.
But to enter that group you must first produce substantial efforts to be considered a valuable component of that group.
You have the environment you deserve. The better you get, the better your environment will be.
Be aware that improvement in your environment, mirroring personal changes, is never linear nor immediate, and comes in small increments that you must pay careful attention to.
The biggest mistake is to expect too many changes in a too short amount of time.
Uneducated, unenlightened individuals will soon lose interest in you, while the more enlightened ones will gradually draw closer.
You will transition slowly from the dry land to the irrigated one.
By ‘educated,’ I am not referring to school nor diploma in particular, but the ability to continuously acquire new knowledge through life and free oneself from the prison of ignorance.
Yes, it is all about the environment and who you hang out with. But who is around you is purely the result of the effort you put into personal development. There is no shortcut.
What is God’s favorite joke?
As far as I can tell, most people want to be around the best, yet refuse to learn anything new, enjoy the comfort of their preconceived ideas about life, and refuse to change or don’t have the courage to do so.
In other words, they are not willing to increase their value but still expect the best from life… and God is probably laughing at this type of delusional expectation. Actually, that’s one of God’s favorite jokes.
