Is it all that there is?

I know for sure that I am going to be a successful entrepreneur, its in my blood and I can feel the ambition through my veins. Under God's guidance nobody can stop me not even me.

I don't wanna lie to myself, I draw my inspiration from the successful men and women out there, flashy cars and nice clothes. Bank full of money to a point that its seems like its unlimited. Nice and expensive neighborhoods with big sophisticated designed houses, YES thats what I am talking about!

 Instead of climbing the corporate ladder, I am going to be that ladder myself. I just want to be successful God knows. This is way out of scope for many as they assume if you are a preacher you don't have this materialistic desires, I am a bible scholar so I have some scripture to back it up.

However, I have a question to the ideal me(a successful man I am going to be) and some notable rich men out there. Is it all that there is?

What do I mean? Is our end goal as humans to have all the materialistic things. Give me an advice here, I wanna be a millionaire and to be in the front page of Forbes magazine. But is that it? Money, expensive cars and houses. Do these things bring satisfaction or greed? My mentor once told me that the multi-billionaire Steve Jobs was asked on his death bed what he wanted and nobody was prepared for the response. He wanted more time... Just more time to spend with his family, go hiking with his son maybe. Bill Gates is one of the richest in the world, what does he do with the money? Expensive cars, suits and houses? No! He has an organization which helps eradicate the diseases and poverty world wide in which he donated approximately $20 billion in it and Warren Buffet donated with $6 billion in it. Who is Warren Buffet? He is a man who is richer than most countries, but still leaves in his old same house. Didn't allow money to change him. 

Maybe this is an old man syndrome. Maybe old people though they are rich can't do all these fleshy things because they can't fit in the 21st community. Maybe they are just not trend-some as they can't relate. I am afraid those assumptions are incorrect because the CEO and Founder of Facebook drives a simple honda in an ordinary house.

Who told me that being successful was all about things with commodity? I was watching one of Robert Kiyosaki's workshops and found out that his watch is not Rolex and his suit is not tailor made at all.

My perception has shifted, but not changed. Do I still want to be a successful entrepreneur? Yes. Am I still going to be one? Yes. The difference is that I know that it isn't all that there is, the possessions don't matter much if the soul has no rest and the mind doesn't have peace.
