Also it is common to us all the desire for &lt;b&gt;instant gratification&lt;/b&gt;, as well as, a natural inclination &lt;b&gt;to follow the path of least resistance&lt;/b&gt;. Among all the natural tendencies, &lt;b&gt;due diligence is not one of them&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Diligence is close to the word &lt;i&gt;readiness&lt;/i&gt;, as a care accompanied by goodwill. &lt;i&gt;Readiness&lt;/i&gt; also says about its ease of understanding or implementation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Haggai 1:5-7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The society, especially the western, is full of debts. People of our generation appear to be drunk and consumed by debt. Most people actually think normal to live with large consumer debt as well as companies and nations. However, I do not think that's normal, and history tells me so. &lt;strong&gt;It's just common, and "Common" is not necessarily "Normal"&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtsKdjeuAjx7Pwj8Q0D79pqBPCTqXEyKkkohy2_h0kq7jYO4B-qrQuD-aGi0xMWblqF9payPkerbYHO4wTvHHquj80PgI0iBFLZ5fUW6yBU6pdV14DPL6clKQo9JD9btoSTwCbDYdETBlU/s1600/photo_19724_20100817.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtsKdjeuAjx7Pwj8Q0D79pqBPCTqXEyKkkohy2_h0kq7jYO4B-qrQuD-aGi0xMWblqF9payPkerbYHO4wTvHHquj80PgI0iBFLZ5fUW6yBU6pdV14DPL6clKQo9JD9btoSTwCbDYdETBlU/s320/photo_19724_20100817.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Many who read this scripture in Haggai and feel that this is the story of their lives. They never have enough. However, &lt;strong&gt;the Lord encourages us to consider our ways&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;To know your history means to recognize it as a force for mobilizing, interfering in their courage and beliefs with their suggestions, but it should not determine your future. It is precisely at this point, in the present time, that I exalt him the Word of God. It contains all instruction for you to decide for an attitude that, for some it is the obvious, but for others, represent the missing words to live a renewal toward prosperity. His story says that is not always what we want is that we can be, and not always what we can is what we must be, but from this blog, I want to present a point of equilibrium, where a set of appropriate attitudes, with the purpose and enthusiasm required, that will lead to a new perspective to recognize the world and the relationships around you, especially about their finances. His only effort, and speak for me, will be in reading and their decision-making, which will be more frequent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Very well, to perform with excellence in that which we are designated or in fulfillment of a dream, you will need a set of appropriate attitudes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Always that we assume a task or pursue a objective we can arrive at different results, but the excellence can be achieved as it uses a few simple skills, but powerful in its effects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In upcoming articles, comment one by one, the principles that I saw being experienced by people of my association, until then apathetic to their fate, but that became true conquerors with these advices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“&lt;em&gt;What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;PSalm 25:12-13&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;In upcoming articles, comment one by one, the principles that I saw being experienced by people of my association, until then apathetic to their fate, but that became true conquerors with these advices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Go beyond the blessings!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from thee.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Job 42:2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/nlfWZG5QXuk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The part of God relative the way to deal with the money is established on the foundation of contentment. In Scriptures, God calls itself with various names but the one that best describes him is &lt;b&gt;Lord&lt;/b&gt;. It is important to understand how we see the Lord, because it determines how we live in the area of finance. &lt;b&gt;Job&lt;/b&gt;, for example, is a witness who knew the Lord and Your landlord over his possessions. In a similar way, Moses and Elisha, to leave their wealth for a purpose. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Many were those who accepted his role as Lord in their lives. The role of the Lord in our financial life is highlighted by three key-words: &lt;strong&gt;Domain&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Control&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Provision&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #e69138; font-family: Arial;"&gt;DOMAIN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;PSalms 24:1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In the book &lt;b&gt;Leviticus 25:23&lt;/b&gt;, the Lord is identified as the owner of all the earth. In Haggai 2:8 we have "&lt;i&gt;The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts&lt;/i&gt;", as in &lt;b&gt;PSalms 50:10&lt;/b&gt; "&lt;i&gt;For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;At that moment, the Lord holds everything together by His power. In principle, when we acknowledge His landlord, every decision related to purchases and donations becomes a spiritual decision. To illustrate the depth of this position can find the position of Abraham to heed the voice of the Lord in &lt;b&gt;Genesis 22:2&lt;/b&gt; "&lt;i&gt;And he said, Take now thy son, thy only son Isaac, Whom thou lovest, and go into the land of Moriah ; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains Which I will name to thee&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It's not easy giving up our arm strength or self-sufficiency, as if we were alone in our endeavors, and this is not a unique event and forever because every time we need to be reminded of who is Lord over our possessions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #e69138; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;CONTROL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;Whatever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="PT-BR"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;PSalms 135:6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="PT-BR"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Another responsibility that the Lord holds for you is &lt;strong&gt;Full Control&lt;/strong&gt; over all events that occur on earth, in heaven and in us (&lt;strong&gt;I Chronicles 29:11-12&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;While noble gases in the atmosphere remain firm in the equation right for supporting life without them dissipate into space, orchestrated movements occur in your body, reacting to the breath of life He filled you. His actions and decisions are under your control, and very interested in him, like King Nebuchadnezzar in &lt;b&gt;Daniel 4:34-35&lt;/b&gt; says "&lt;i&gt;And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me , and I blessed the most High, and I Praised and honored him That liveth for ever, Whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation: And all the Inhabitants of the earth are reputed to nothing: and he doeth According to his Will in the army of heaven, and Among the Inhabitants of the earth: and none Can Stay his hand, or say to him, What doest thou?&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It is important that we realize that the Father conducts even the circumstances that seem overwhelming, but in the direction of a greater good in the lives of "&lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt;". "&lt;i&gt;And we know That All Things work together for good, to Them That Love God, to who are the called Them According to his purpose&lt;/i&gt;" &lt;b&gt;Romans 8:28&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It is worth reiterating that, after the tree of knowledge was "&lt;i&gt;eaten&lt;/i&gt;", the Lord left to underestimate the man and his decisions in front of his ability, and not maturity, to make decisions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;But why the Lord allows occurs tough situations? I appreciate three reasons:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Perform His purposes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;: This is illustrated in the life of Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers and, years later, becoming a great authority in Egypt, saving his entire family of scarcity (&lt;b&gt;Genesis 45:5,8&lt;/b&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Develop your character&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;: This is something precious to the Lord. Lessons are learned about trust in the Lord during the difficult times, when we come closer to Him because we are more receptive to your voice and instruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Discipline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;: When administering discipline, the Lord encourages us to abandon the precepts doubtful and to follow to His principles, increasing our faith and strengthen our character.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;If it is possible list a word to summarize the results of this aspect of the Lord in our lives, that word would be &lt;b&gt;MATURITY&lt;/b&gt;. The Lord wait the awakening of his maturity, &lt;b&gt;to bless our relationships with prosperity&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #e69138; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;PROVISION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="PT-BR"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Philippians 4:19&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="PT-BR"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Proverbs 8:30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I am convinced that the Lord will provide - at the exact moment - the resources needed to realize the purpose and the calling that He has for each of us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In &lt;b&gt;Genesis 22:14&lt;/b&gt;, God is called "&lt;i&gt;Yahweh Jireh&lt;/i&gt;" (The Lord will Provide). He cares for his people and does not need a prosperous economy for such provision. The Lord came down manna for the children of Israel for forty years, every day in the desert, as well as meat of partridges.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;We fail to recognize the Lord when we do not understand who is the Lord. We tend to decrease it and place it in a way, with talent and human limitations. We must keep our vision awakens to not lose the perspective of the Lord.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f1c232; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;LORD OF THE UNIVERSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The distance between the end of a galaxy and the other is always measured in millions of light years. In &lt;strong&gt;Isaiah 40:26&lt;/strong&gt; we read,"&lt;i&gt;Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names, by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f1c232; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;LORD OF NATIONS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Isaiah 40:21-24&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; says: "&lt;i&gt;Have ye not known? Have ye not heard? ... It is he That sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and Its Inhabitants are the grasshoppers,... That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the earth The Judges of the vanity. Yes, They Shall Not Be planted, yes, They Shall Not Be sown: yes, Their stock Shall not take root in the earth: and He Shall Also blow upon Them, and They Shall wither, and the whirlwind Them Shall take away the stubble&lt;/i&gt;". And in &lt;b&gt;Isaiah 40:15&lt;/b&gt; we read: "&lt;i&gt;Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted to the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing&lt;/i&gt;" The action of the landlord of the Lord can also be illustrated in &lt;b&gt;I Kings 11:1-14&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f1c232; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;LORD OF THE INDIVIDUAL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Lord is not a "force", "energy", "cosmos", "nature" or any other classification, something distant, uncaring or unconcerned by our questions. ON THE CONTRARY!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;He is involved so intimately with each of us as individuals. &lt;b&gt;PSalms 139:3-4&lt;/b&gt; reveals "&lt;i&gt;Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art Acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But you, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether&lt;/i&gt;". God is one and Lord. He is the one who knows us deeply loves us and awaits our decision for Him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang="PT-BR"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Lord has the power to meet His responsibilities and keep his promises. The fundamental truth is that the Lord has retained the responsibilities of property possession, control of events and the provision of necessities. As humans, we have not been projected to meet those responsibilities. But, the Lord has delegated some tasks important to us, for which it is necessary for its realization, a set of appropriate attitudes become necessary. I will tell more in coming posts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;it was very good&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genesis 1:31a&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Having lots of money may or may not be important to you, but learning how to handle it must be important. Everyone has their own opinion about it, and worry about money. &lt;b&gt;The truth is that God does not want us to worry about money, but to be excellent managers&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;God did not donate the land and the creatures to Adam, but two ordinances: &lt;b&gt;Take Care and Cultivate&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;By eliminating the obstacles to prosperity and teach how to do it, God established in Adam the attitude that which would result in abundance in the relationships along the things of this world, and principally about the people around you. You want more confirmation about this challenging attitude?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Genesis 12:3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Exodus 23:25&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious to thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Numbers 6:24-26&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;For the poor shall never cease from the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand wide to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Deuteronomy 15:11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Deuteronomy 24:19&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy store-houses, and in all that thou settest thy hand to: and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Deuteronomy 28:8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Berachot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; or &lt;i&gt;b'rakhot&lt;/i&gt;, which means &lt;strong&gt;Blessing&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"&gt;was the &lt;strong&gt;First Decree of God on Man's Life&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Upon learning this, within his generation, some people conquered their objectives when they lived those words instead of their fears or beliefs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.&lt;/i&gt; "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Numbers 13:30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Joshua 1:6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And Deborah said to Barak, Arise, for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Judges 4:14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Judges 6:14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I Samuel 14:6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I Samuel 17:32&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldst bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldst keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I Chronicles 4:10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD to you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;II Chronicles 20:15&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Job 42:10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Some people do not know or do not believe, while others know but has not apply the financial principles of God in their lives. They are crucial, according to Howard Dayton, for three reasons:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The way we deal with money affects our fellowship with the Lord.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The possessions compete by the domain with the Lord of our life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The dimensions of your money personality are in daily activity, determining their livelihoods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;People now question themselves and seek aid and advice about finances, over this, I can say that there are three alternatives of wisdom or Inspirations: Divine, Human and Malign. The difference can be exemplified through of what you consider when facing a significant decision or about the your motivation in a new development:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Malign&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;: Do you consider your self-sufficiency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Human&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;: Do you consider your children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Divine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;: Do you consider your children and grandchildren.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;No children or grandchildren, and still considering them? This is a good example of faith.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Go beyond the blessings!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There are several reasons, and what is important to understand is that many of them are directly related to the messages we receive while growing up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Just becomes a problem "buy" when you have no &lt;b&gt;self-control&lt;/b&gt; and when the action is directed to the seek of &lt;b&gt;self-esteem&lt;/b&gt; (compensation) rather than &lt;b&gt;self-satisfaction&lt;/b&gt; (reward), for example, between buy a new equipment that you need not simply because it is faster than that of his friend is different from buying a computer to attend the demands of education or their service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Sometimes the cause is situational as a divorce or after the death of a loved one. His inability to deal with new situations that require rapid changes can lead you to spend, stop working and take actions that normally would not take.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Another cause is the &lt;b&gt;addictive quality of money&lt;/b&gt;. Betaendorfina is a substance produced by the brain when the activity is pleasurable. If the activity is consistently enjoyable and his quest for the enjoyment is constant, the consequences can be very negative as a indebtedness or a conflict in marriage. On the opposite side is the pathological fear of never having enough. Normally such people, like the skinflint, hold onto things so as extreme. They feed an irrational fear of which maybe they will need an old object and anticipate a bitter repentance at the thought in disposing of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Consciousness&lt;/b&gt; is a good first step to moderate these bad habits. When you recognize what is &lt;b&gt;holding, buying or working obsessively&lt;/b&gt;, you'll be in better position to deal with a harmful behavior. So I want to share with you five steps to a significant change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;PRAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;Invite the Holy Spirit to speak about his life. Ask the Lord strength and good cheer for you withstand the confrontation with the "truths" hidden in your heart. Ask the Lord to show the root of these extreme behaviors, the episode or the word that triggered these situations. Talk to Him about this behavior, invite Him to examine what was not asked by you, but it is in their attitude. &lt;b&gt;Seek and confess to the Lord in repentance its lack in having Him around&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="PT-BR"&gt;Ask the Lord consummate the inner healing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="" style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"&gt;CONSCIENTIZATION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Read and reflect on the statements that you heard about money, wealth, goods and people rich / poor, while growing up in age. &lt;b&gt;Enumerate also the way of being and habits of their parents and friends in relation to wealth and money&lt;/b&gt;. Reflect on the aspects that you consider equal or opposite to their parents or friends. Think also about the specific emotional episodes about money that you have lived.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="PT-BR"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;UNDERSTANDING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Reflect about how these phrases come affecting your financial life until today. Do the same about the effect that these examples or episodes may have affected your financial life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;DISSOCIATION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Realize that these beliefs and values represent only their learning past, they are not part of his anatomy, namely, &lt;b&gt;they constitute not you and do not talk about who you really are&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="PT-BR"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #b4a7d6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;AUTHORITY WITH DECLARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The things I hear are not necessarily true, and the examples I had about property, wealth, money, rich or poor does not belong to me. I renounce these experiences and create a new and prosperous future for me. I refuse them all and choose to receive new ways of thinking according to the Word of God. &lt;strong&gt;My way of doing things I am what I choose with the help of the Holy Spirit&lt;/strong&gt;. Observe and make proof of my thoughts with the help of the Lord, and only retain what is good and those who strengthens me, in Jesus name!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Now with the renovation, seek the Lord (I will write more on this blog) the three basic messages about money that will guide their words and attitudes in everything that involves your relationship with money, property and property. Seek concordance with your spouse and with the Lord in principles for &lt;strong&gt;Acquisition, Use and Management&lt;/strong&gt;. These new messages will be Statute's family, you can use consistently in dealing with financial matters. Your messages should convey the values in accordance with its purposes, rather than fear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;If you wish, here are some &lt;strong&gt;tips&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;On &lt;b&gt;Acquisition&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;set a financial objective is good, provided that we do not get obsessed or consumed by it, depriving the needs chosen by our family&lt;/i&gt;. In &lt;b&gt;Use&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;you can buy both basic needs and luxury items, but not to impress others or to establish self-worth. Expenses above $ 500.00 require the approval of ___________ and ___________, and in case of divergences, in particular its resolution will occur among both. There is no money or accounts hidden, even if they are separated&lt;/i&gt;. While the &lt;b&gt;Management&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;keep track of finances is a responsible attitude, but without execute it at the cost of forgetting their responsibilities with their family &lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;and friends and commitments with their purposes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In the 50´s, the psychoanalyst &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Erikson"&gt;Erik Erikson&lt;/a&gt; has identified a sequence of eight stages of development from birth to old age. &lt;strong&gt;Five of these stages happen in infancy&lt;/strong&gt;; complete them successful way contributes to the formation of healthy personalities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;By means the work of Jon and Eileen Gallo, in the &lt;a href="http://www.galloconsulting.com/"&gt;Gallo Consulting&lt;/a&gt;, them traced a series of parallel &lt;b&gt;financial tasks for parents who sought to create a healthy relationship with money in their children or dependents&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;One definition widely used and developed by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Millon"&gt;Theodore Millon&lt;/a&gt; defines personality how "&lt;i&gt;a pattern of traces deeply rooted and widely exhibited cognitive [how we think], affective [how we feel] and in a manner visibly behavior [we behave] that persist for extended periods of time&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Therefore, &lt;strong&gt;our financial personality is what we think about money, how we we feel and behave in relation money&lt;/strong&gt;.

Why then speakest thou so to me?&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;I Samuel 9:21&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“&lt;em&gt;Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the &lt;strong&gt;LORD&lt;/strong&gt; of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;I Samuel 17:45&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“&lt;em&gt;But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;James 1:14-15&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Suppose a tree where there is much fruit. In life, our fruits are our results. Normally we look at them and not like what we see - we think that the fruits produced are few, small or that the taste leaves much to be desired. What we tend to do, then? Most of us devote even more attention to results, try to change them using the same common sense of our fathers. But where do they come?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It's what's below the "&lt;em&gt;land&lt;/em&gt;" that creates what's above it. This means that if you want to change the fruits, their roots should be replaced. Therefore, it is useless we focus attention on the fruits are already mature when season after season, your results come out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Money, Wealth, Goods, Some Disease, Health, Appearance and Weight are examples of results&lt;/strong&gt;, a consequence of what we believe. We live under the &lt;strong&gt;Law of Sowing&lt;/strong&gt; in many of our actions. For example, lack of money is an effect, result, or fruit. But where is the cause, what is its root?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Whatever may be its fruits - abundant or scarce, good or bad, positive or negative - remember that it is a reflection of your seed and your strength and result of their roots. The Sowing is always an option in our lives, but once the seed was sown, that is, since the word entered into our lives and this "truth" made perfect sense, the harvest will be mandatory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Thus, the &lt;strong&gt;financial model&lt;/strong&gt; of a person is a combination of his thoughts, which lead to feelings and in actions that lead to results. Actions of conditioned minds, usually feed actions moved by the flavor of perceptions, other words, motivated by what is pleasing to your eyes and your sensations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;All the phrases you've heard about money, examples, gestures and episodes are kept as part of the model that governs your financial life, for example. Its fruit supervene when, in a decision, we have to choose between reason and emotions deeply rooted, the emotions usually win.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Life experiences help people to improve various skills and abandon up many of bad habits, however, distortions of the judgment might not be among them. Therefore, it is improbable that biases basic judgment to correct itself over time why responsive learning requires accurate and immediate feedback, which is hardly available because (i) results are usually lengthy and not very easy to assign them to a particular action, (ii) variability of the environment degrades the trustworthiness of return, (iii) and frequently no information on what would have been the result if another decision had been taken, and (iv) many of the important decisions are unique and offer little opportunity for learning, so any claim that a given error will be eliminated by experience must be substantiated by the demonstration that the conditions for effective learning are met.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;When people learn from one episode at a time, too often they focus on characteristics of superficial level and understand that the message applies only to the specific context of the decision. Rather, the process of abstracting lessons between two similar episodes creates widespread perceptions, so get rid of bad judgment is an extremely difficult process that must be closely monitored and guided by a framework for change (look it the books Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes), starting with the systemic vision and shared of the question to be decided or criticized.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
