Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

I love that quote by Author Wallace Wattles (got to love that name) in his 1910 book “The Science of Getting Rich”.  As a test as to who is reading this, the first 10 people to ask me in a comment below will get a copy of the book for FREE…

The nature of the universe is advancement of life… every person should have all that can contribute to their life.  Good food, comfortable clothing, beautiful home & grounds around it, rest & recreation for our physical bodies, education & books and TIME to study them, opportunity to travel and observe, have intellectual companionship & recreations including objects of art and beauty to be used and appreciated, love and relationship.

These are denied expression by poverty.

And bestowing these benefits on those we love is highest happiness!

To be content with less is against our nature.

Embrace this MAD MAY MONEY MONTH
As Mr. Wattles says in the Science of Getting Rich:

If you neglect this study you are “derelict in your duty” to yourself and humanity.  You can render no greater service… than to make the MOST of yourself.

Spend some time this week thinking about what your life will look like “ultimately fulfilled”.

Look at your LIfe’s Intentions Inventory.  Look at your standards of integrity cards you did last week. THOSE THINGS are who you are…

WHO are you willing to BE in order to produce EXTRAORDINARY results?
Are you WILLING to do the things that ought to be done in THIS MOMENT that lead to your “getting rich”?

“Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next. In the center of your heart and my heart it’s as if there were a radio antenna; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from people and from the infinite, so long are you young.”
— Samuel Ullman

The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes are taken out, it’s just sort of a tired feeling.

I learned it a bit more simply, but interesting to see it in Ben Franklin’s own words:

In 1772, Benjamin Franklin was asked for advice by a colleague who’d been offered an unusual job opportunity. Franklin re- plied in a letter that, given his lack of knowledge of the situation, he couldn’t offer advice on whether or not to take the job. But he did sug- gest a process the colleague could use to make his own decision. Franklin said that his approach was “to divide half a sheet of paper by a line into two columns, writing over the one Pro and over the other Con.” During the next three or four days, Franklin said, he’d add factors to the two columns as they occurred to him. Then, he said:
When I have thus got them all together in one view, I endeavour to estimate their respective weights; and where I find two, one on each side, that seem equal, I strike them both out: If I find a reason Pro equal to some two reasons Con, I strike out the three. If I judge some two reasons Con equal to some three reasons Pro, I strike out the five; and thus proceeding I find at length where the balance lies; and if after a day or two of farther consideration nothing new that is of importance occurs on either side, I come to a determination accordingly. [Capitalization modernized.]

Franklin called this technique “moral algebra.” Over 200 years after he wrote this letter, his approach is still, broadly speaking, the approach people use when they make decisions (that is, when they’re not trusting their guts). We may not follow Franklin’s advice about crossing off pros and cons of similar weight, but we embrace the gist of the process. When we’re presented with a choice, we compare the pros and cons of our op- tions, and then we pick the one that seems the most favorable
