Reading makes the muscles of the brain stronger, as praying is vitamins for the soul and spirit.
Going back to Arnold Schwarzenegger, what he says is so damn true, we have 24 hrs a day, tap into more of a business mentality of time discernment, ie cal sees, binders, journals and keep track of utilizing every scheduling with constructed routines, atleast 10 phone calls a day, read a few hrs a day, address a problem a day, go through a anxiety attack a day on something that’s bothering you and face it’s challenge with coping and acknowledging it, than let it heal and move forward, address emotions and speak it to submission.
Don’t try to eliminate faulty emotions, domesticate them, and keep them in check, than more windows of brazen will over take timidness, more courage will overtake doubt, and more confidence will overtake ego and confront it.
Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.Many people say that you shouldn’t seek, earn or put money up there, I disagree, for many of our unhappiness comes with having the lack of resources, not being able to do things what we want to do, because of obstacles.
When we turn to scripture, we see that money is a much needed management, and to knowledgeable of how to use it is a great asset to weaving through our priorities…
King solomon:
Ecclesiastes 7:12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
Psalms 15:5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Leviticus 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
Leviticus 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
Psalms 112:3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Proverbs 8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
So we see from scripture that money needs to be apart of your source of joy, having it, managing it, gaining it and maintaining it, which leads to your prosperity. As we can learn from highly successful people of today…..
