I don’t remember Moses writing, ‘Thou shalt not kill.. unless you think you have a good reason.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.
There are more serious problems in life than financial ones and I’ve had a lot of those. I’ve been broke before and will be again. Heartbroke? That’s serious. Lose a few bucks? That’s not.
