The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin, on demand, on the Blaze Radio Network.

Welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, where I, your rabbi,

remain solemnly dedicated to revealing for you how the world

rarely works. And one of the qualities of the happy warrior is that we happy warriors always relish battle. We do not seek

secluded and passive opportunities to do nothing. We do not seek the ability to retire and the ability to relax. We enjoy the battle. We enjoy the battle of trying

to become bigger, better people. We try to become better children to our parents, better spouses to our husbands or wives, better friends to our friends,

better parents to our children. We try to become more knowledgeable each day about how the

world really works. We try to expand our social network each and every day,

and we try and make more money each successive month. More money, you ask, isn't that rather greedy?

Well, no, not if you have studied, thou shalt prosper the Ten Commandments for Making Money.

If you've studied our book on that topic, then you understand that every single dollar bill that you get into your hands or into your bank account or into your

Bitcoin vault, every one of those is a stunning and persuasive piece of

testimony that you have pleased another child of God.

That's right.

Because if you didn't hold up a convenience store,

and you did not mug a little old lady and steal her pocketbook, and you didn't defraud your

fellow citizens, then the only way that you made more money next month than you did last month is because you found a way

of pleasing more human beings more meaningfully and the money you have is evidence that you succeeded.

So yes, we do try and improve in every way and making more money is one of the

indications that we have improved. And the passage of time is wonderful because it allows us

to measure our progress.
