You own nothing.
You manage and oversee, but in the end, nothing belongs to you. For if it did, you would take it with you.
In a life where hard work, dedication, and immense sacrifice paved the way to financial success, you proved yourself worthy to accumulate liquid freedom to choose.
Your talents are only so valuable as your will and desire to sharpen them through consistency and perseverance.
In a life where you prioritize building lifelong relationships, you will enjoy the blessings that building them has afforded you. After all, no one is self-made. It takes two participants to make a market. Both must agree to the terms to facilitate an exchange of value. This is true for Marriage, Family, Business Relationships, and even how you treat the Stranger that passes you by.
As the present-day Steward(s), you are ultimately accountable. When you make decisions, you make them for and with the collective. You are long-sighted, forever playing chess in your mind and planning your next moves carefully.
The perspective of Stewardship over ownership helps you cultivate a sense of gratitude, humility, and generosity.
Managing a little well leads to managing a lot.
Do you agree?
Care less about today and more about tomorrow.
You will benefit from the role of Stewardship. You will enjoy the blessings the position offers you. You can eat from the harvests and rest under the shade of the tree you prune and maintain.
Rest quickly however; you have significant work to do.

I enjoyed this post a lot! You make great points, I honestly have never considered stewardship vs ownership. Certainly something that will be on my mind!
