But the challenge is really about taking our God-given talents and resources and adding value to the world.

The money we receive in our life is nothing more than receipts for the service that we have performed and the value that we have added to the lives of others. 

The point of this challenge is to develop the habit of finding ways to add value to the world, to think in terms of possibilities rather than restraints, to see opportunities in obstacles, and to learn to use what we have at our disposal right now to get started.

The fact is those are qualities that I want to develop in myself.  I hope that by doing it myself I can encourage others on the path as well, and that we can all learn a bunch in the process.
