Richard Milligan argues that money has limits and true fulfillment comes from serving others. He tells the story of his brother-in-law, who adopted four children from foster care after witnessing severe neglect. Seeing that suffering triggered an instinctive drive to serve at a higher level.
There's always an end to money. Greater purpose, greater meaning can come from exposing people to these areas where they see people in pain. So example, my brother-in-law adopted 4 kids out of the DHS system. We were thinking about adopting and he was like, hey, if you're just thinking about it, don't you dare go walk inside a foster system. Because the moment you see those little kids and they smell like urine and have feces on them, they're not being taken care of appropriately, you will adopt. Yeah. And he was like, don't put yourself in that position until you and Leah gain agreement on it. And what he was saying, what he was articulating is you see people in that level of pain, you will by design respond in a way that says, let me serve at a higher level with a larger purpose and more calling in my life.
