In today’s episode, Virginia is discussing the virtue of magnanimity, which is the “stretching forth of the mind to great things.” “Success is more about happiness than power, possessions, or prestige.”- Strayer University, 2014 Success Project SurveyIf you aren’t sure why you’re in college, or maybe don’t know what to pursue after graduation, stick around. This episode will help you understand what motivates you, and give you the Catholic mindset to pursue true success in your future relationships, careers, and dreams.   Have you heard of the 7 Whys? Virginia explains the process of questioning your own choices until you unlock the deepest motivations that drive your actions.

In the first category, she briefly addresses some sticky thoughts about money that many Catholics have, and gives tips on how to pursue and utilize wealth in a saintly way. In the second and more important category, Virginia explains why uncovering your “Why?” from a Catholic perspective can help you unlock God’s incredible plan for your life. This journey to abundance doesn’t have to be complicated.
