Most people fail to realize that in life, it’s not how much money you make, it’s how much money you keep.

Would you have thought that piling up money and getting more of it actually gets rid of it fastest? Of course No, we as people trying to attain financial independence think that more money means a brighter future. However, the recipe is not to pile it up but to be smart.

The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth in what seems to be an instant.

Building something from scratch and holding onto your determination no matter what is all that it takes. You will fall, but you need to get up, whether its your financial life or social life. Stick to this.

Whether one believes in evolution, intelligent design, or Divine Creation, one thing is certain.

Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God's divine design.
