Ever heard the saying  “What’s in it for me?”

In this weeks Gospel, Luke 16: 1-13 it is not about the dishonest manager getting back the amount he is owed but maximizing his losses so at least he would get something back.

 Like the manager in the parable we need to gather what we can without putting a value on it. The question being how can we ever build relationships if we placing expectations on others?

 Hence, we capitalize and achieve our greatest successes when our options are limitless and our outcomes negotiable. We must be careful not to judge others but work in partnership with them so everyone can achieve their goals and no one feels short changed.
