If I told you were to find a treasure...what would you do?

The question arose tonight in a decision I was having.
Not a treasure chest, but a treasure for living live, yes, yes, I am talking spiritually.
Now remember these are my thoughts... seeds planted in my head that I am beginning to explore spiritually speaking to see if they line up with the Word of God--
If I go to God, and I seek Him, I desire to learn more about Him.... I follow Him and heed to His voice, what I feel He is telling me what to do... then I would expect that the rest of the things in my life will fall into place according to His will in my life.
Seems so simple, doesn't it?  Almost too simple.  Logically speaking it is simple 2+2=4, I have 2 cookies you have 2 cookies together we have 4.
So, if I say that I read the word of God and it tells me:
"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.  Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. THEN you will be prosperous and successful.  Have I not commanded you Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."    Judges 1:7-9
So this advice (scripture) says to me:  Be strong, do not be afraid, obey the laws (word of God), meditate on the Book of the Law (word of God), be careful to DO what it says... then I will be prosperous and successful.

That gets me excited.... that tells me that if I do step 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 I will be successful!!!!! 
And they are not hard steps, it isn't anymore than we expect of our children, than our employers expect of US...
Why then when you tell someone, when you show someone do they not get it, do they not feel the excitement that you do. 
After all I just told you that God said, the creator of heaven and earth and all that is on it or has ever been on it, that if you meditate on His word, obey it and not be afraid.... you will be prosperous and successful!  Just follow what He told Moses to tell us..... ah yeah the 10 Commandments.

Seems like I just told you (& I) where the X is now you (we) just have to dig through your (our) flesh, will, human nature and not be afraid to trust God....
