Forty Days and Forty Nights-

Thou Shalt Build Wealth[1] © 2013

By Wayne Dan Lewis, Sr.  [2]

 

If you will recall, that in the Bible, there are several references to “40 days and 40 nights” as it related to several major incidents.  One of those incidents involved Moses on Mt. Sinai. [3]   He is reported to have spent two tours of engagement prior to descending Mt. Sinai with the stone tablets that we have all come to know as, the 10 commandments.  A brief research of the reference to 40 days and 40 nights, suggests that there may have been several interpretations of this specific reference of time.  That perhaps, it may have not been in the absolute context as we know it today, but that it may have been more, or less time, than we associate with today.  It was suggested that the people of that time, may have used a different form of calendar to measure time than we do today.

Nevertheless, our means of measuring time today is as accurate as possible in these our times, whether by intent or subsequential action to our goals,  and as a result, 40 days and 40 nights have been incorporated into many aspects of our lives.

Effective February 13, 2013, The Coveted Commandment seeks and attempt to use this same measurement of time, 40 days and 40 nights, to help as many of us possible, to build wealth.  How? 

First of all we will review how the Coveted Commandment came to be.[4]

Secondly, we will review the building principles that have been suggested through this concept in order to help many of us to get our minds engaged in wealth building.

Third, we are going to review and put together an overview of some general financial goals, that may or may apply to all of us, but will nevertheless, serve as a model for putting together our own personal plans to achieve something more significant in our lives.   Some of these goals maybe relevant to some of us, as some may not to others of us.  So, hopefully, we can all be tolerant as we each attempt to find creative and productive ways of improving the quality of life for ourselves and for our families.

You may ask whether we need as much as 40 days and/or 40 nights to help us find and build wealth.  Or, do we need more time than 40 days and 40 nights?  The answer is entirely up to you.  This is a designated time-frame to focus on any and everything imaginable that has sat on the back burner, or has only been a passing idea when it came to pursuing our dreams, for example, to start a business; to become a securities investor, or, to just start a savings account.

It is the intent of the Coveted Commandment,[5] from its inception, from its discovery and revelation, to provide a platform to share, to learn, to encourage, to build and to achieve whatever is possible for the everyday, average individual, group or family who have needed some type of incentive, to build wealth.

It is a commandment that is not decreed by a governmental or authoritative body.  It is a commandment, as I suggested before, that I believe was either left on Mt. Sinai; interpreted by Biblical scholars, but not revealed to the masses, or it was never meant to be released for whatever means to help those who needed inspiration to build wealth.  However, it is here now, and it is a commandment designed to encourage each and everyone of us to take our earnings to the next possible level.  It is a commandment that encourages us to, once and for all, to put together that business plan and start that coffee shop, that grocery store, or to invest in ourselves to whatever degree in order to be successful.

Whether we need 40 days and 40 nights to improve the quality of our lives will depend on 2 things:

1. What are we willing to put into this wealth building opportunity, and
2.  What are we willing to get out of it.

(Note:  It’s not an either-or to this event.  It’s both: what you are willing to put in, and what are you willing to get out of it.  I invite you to participate fully, knowing that the results will be up to you because of what you are willing to do.)

For example, what you may bring to the table is 10 years of experience in running a business, you may leave with a new employee who knows how to put a program together to run your business more successfully; you may bring to the table how to write a will, you may get a client who needs a succession.  Last, but certainly not least, you may bring a need to buy life insurance for your children, and leave with a long term investment opportunity.  Whatever you bring to the table, expect to get something out of this process, as a result of your vigilance, your dedication and/or your contribution.  It is all up to each one of us.

Be prepared to share within this short period of time how you achieved your level of success, however slight, however great, knowing that something you will have shared will have made a difference in someone else’s life.  Be forewarned however, that your benefit may not be immediate.  Be forewarned, that the benefit to you, may not be from the person who may directly benefit as a result of your contribution.  And if that is alright with you, then feel free to bring something to the table, knowing that the benefit may not be immediate to you.

Also, be prepared within this short period of time to take with you an important piece of information, or contact that may possibly increase your net worth, not only for 2013, but for well beyond.

For FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS, you have an opportunity to do many things for your well-being.  Shouldn’t one of those things result in you becoming financially better off?  Shouldn’t you be able to open a Roth IRA account?  Shouldn’t you be able to own an ounce of gold? An ounce of silver? Or any other precious metal?

In FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS, shouldn’t you be able to start your own business? Buy a life insurance policy?  Shouldn’t you have changed your spending habits, including not spending your money in places where you are not appreciated? Or, as a result, shouldn’t you have increased your customer-base because you found a way to improve customer relations?

Whatever you want to do, to improve your life financially for you and your family, you have the opportunity to make it happen with FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS.  It may never come this way again, and it may never be this easy.  Using social media in a way that it has never been used before, here is your opportunity to follow one commandment if no other:  THE COVETED COMMANDMENT-Thou Shalt Build Wealth.
Notice:  No indication of exchange or promise of money directly or indirectly implied or suggested as a result of involvement or association with this social media event.  There are no costs to those who participate.

Remember, you are the CEO in your life.  The decisions you make (today) determine your choices for success (tomorrow).  Thou--------------------Shalt------------------- Build--------------------- Wealth.
