One has to ask what is the goal of life? What is the goal of life? My interpretation of it for myself, a very wise teacher once taught me this, is to meet the needs of the people, places and the times around you and offering those services to God.
You can have all the money in the world. You can be a multi-billionaire, but if you do not have your health it means nothing. Your health is the No. 1 important thing in your life.
You can’t build a future if you do not know who you are. You can’t become who you are meant to be if you can’t tell the truth about who you are, what you have, and everything about your life. The truth is the absolute essence to your success, while lies are the absolute essence to your failures.
Although money alone won’t make us happy, the lack of money surely will make us miserable.
We each focus on what we’re going to buy, but that’s an incorrect focus. Focus instead on why you want to spend the money on this or that. What feeling in you does it satisfy?
What happens to your money directly affects the quality of your life – not your stockbroker’s life or your banker’s life, but YOUR life.
I have a million dollars in the stock market, because if I lose a million dollars, I don’t personally care.
Focus on what you have.
A great teacher once taught me that you’ve got to have faith that everything happens for the best. I have had many setbacks in my career and every setback has led me that much further into my truth.
If the relationship between you and your money is harmonious, regardless of how much you have, your financial transactions will be harmonious as well.
Who would you want to be giving you advice? Somebody who doesn’t have any money?
Money is a topic that touches all races, all religions, all sexes, all ages, all tax brackets. It’s a universal language that truly has been held up to us in society as a thing that determines whether we are successful, worthy, whether we have contributed something to life or not.
The truth will always lead you to a better place and a bigger place. And every single setback, every single one, has led me – not in my time, but in the time that it was meant to happen – to a place that I never in a million years could have imagined that I could go or become.
Choosing wealth as a goal requires facing everything about your money bravely, honestly, with courage – which is a very, very hard thing for most of us to do.
When someone chooses to value herself over the things she can buy, true transformation begins.
Liking who you are and liking what you do can make you an incredibly successful person.
When it comes to tackling your financial goals, whatever they might be, there’s no time like the present.
The dream of having one’s dream job turned into “Oh my God, I’ll take any job. I’ve been out of work for two years now. I don’t care what I do. I’ll do anything because I don’t have any money”.
There’s nothing wrong with saying, “I want to have more,” “I want to be more,” “I did this for money.”
I wanted to give people the ability once again to realize that they can still dream, but it has to be a new American dream that’s based in honesty, integrity, and security – a dream that allows you to sleep at night, a dream that is attainable and allows you to stand in your truth.
