QUOTE:
“The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied.”
-Lucretius
INSPIRATION:
I learned long ago that before things changed for the better in my life I had to learn the secret of contentment. That sounds strange but if you realize that being unhappy is a negative energy and attracts negative energy into one’s life. So if you want to attract wealth which is positive energy you must be in a state of contentment for the law to apply. Sometimes the laws of the universe seem backwards but that does not negate the fact that they work.
ACTION:
Step 1: Be content for whatever situation you are currently in.
Step 2: Find the positives in this current situation
Step 3: Even though you are content in your current situation determine what you would like to see replace it in your life. You can do this without being in a state of discontent.
Step 4: Be grateful that at the right time the new thing will manifest itself in your life.

Words of Wisdom - "A Balanced Life" - Wealth (Week 2)
QUOTE:
“Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.”
-Euripides
INSPIRATION:
I find that people who are unhappy usually are focusing on what they don’t have or lamenting the fact that something is not right in their lives. Yet true wealth is so much more than one’s bank account. In fact your financial status is really the smallest part of the equation when it comes to determining your wealth. Some have sacrificed their integrity or their health to reach financial goals only to find out in the end those things were far more valuable than any financial gain.
ACTION:
Take some time today to focus on what is important in your life.
Does your calendar reflect this?
Does your checkbook reflect this?
Often the words of our mouth do not represent our actions. Your time and your checkbook are much more accurate when determining what your priorities are today.

Words of Wisdom - "A Balanced Life" - Wealth (Week 1)
QUOTE:
“We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.”
-Tacitus
INSPIRATION:
Money is a strange commodity. I have seen that for some people money brings them joy and for others money brings them grief. I have seen multi-millionaires live lives of quiet desperation and others that seem to have nothing have such great joy. So what is wealth is it the accumulation of excess money? I seriously doubt that, although there is nothing wrong with having money. I think the real wealth is people who are more than their money. They are people with a purpose greater than themselves and a passion to make a difference with their lives. Those people when they have money do great things. And others who don’t have financial resources utilize the gifts that they do have their talents and time.
ACTION:
Are you wealthy when it comes to money?
Are you wealthy when it comes to time and talents?
Do you measure your happiness by your financial status?
Today realize that you are wealthy no matter what your bank account reflects.
Today stop comparing your financial situation to others and feeling that you are coming up short.
Today realize that the entire universe is available to you.
