Money and Success, and the life of a retired Olympian

What I learned this week:

For me, it is essential that I get out of my comfort zone every now and then, so I can learn to expand my brain and my soul.

What I am grateful for:

All the people who help me get my work done.

Living Smart: Money and Success
By Production Assistant: Shelby Cole
(Sun, 3:00 PM, July 25—Repeats following Friday at10 PM)


No matter what your belief system is, money and religion have gone hand in hand since the earliest days of human history. Whether your place of worship is funded by tithes, donations, fundraisers, or even the pillaging of the Crusades, religious orders of all types have relied on the uses of finances to fund their practices. Church, while typically charitable and virtuous, has a business face as well. Such is the nature of the beast.
Tithing has been around since religion’s inception. Tithing exists in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and even Scientology. Essentially, being a part of a religious tradition means that, at some point, you will be asked to give of your finances to help keep your place of worship up and running.
What of the guilt that is typically associated with money, though? We’ve had it beaten into our heads that having money is bad. Over time, we’ve become conditioned to associate guilt with wealth. That is old school.
Living Smart explores this topic with Dr. John Demartini. Dr. Demartini has over 40 books including the recently titled “How To Make One Hell of a Profit and Still Get To Heaven, and Secrets to Financial Success.”

I think money-giving is necessary to be an integral part in religion. All religions promote sacrifice as a core value, right? What greater thing could one sacrifice than money?

@marsha -

time and energy? money isn't/shouldn't be EVERYTHING, especially at church. we should focus on the core values being taught/learning about your faith, versus a new chapel - the old one works just fine!
