Wednesday Wisdom

Love now for the next moment is not promised.

We are seeing a lot of death across the world. Don't live in regret. Show and tell those you care about how much they mean to you now while you are able to share time with them.

Peace and Blessings.

Emergency Fund Saving

I am currently taking a class with Financial Peace University (Dave Ramsey) and it is interesting to hear someone that hit bottom share the tips that helped him get back on top. It is also amazing that through it all he was able to keep his family structure in order. Most time finances can break a relationship down.

As I am taking the class I see how I have been careless with money. I have always had the easy come easy go mentally to it. Ramsey wants to make sure that we pay ourselves first. We don’t imagine that is possible because bills have to be paid but if we took the time to put something on the side it could still develop the emergency fund that every household should have.

Do you have anything stored away for a rainy day?
Do you have money that you can access quickly when needed?

Ramsey encourages that you at least have $1000.00 saved away. That could deal with car issues, unexpected bill, etc. The ultimate goal is to have 6-8 months of living expenses saved. The secret is to save because an emergency is never planned but you can be prepared.

Wednesday Wisdom 9/16/09

If you flow in your purpose your destiny will unfold before your eyes.

Meditate

I notice that most of my surrounding friends and family are on rush mode. We are all running to get things done because we feel the end is near.

Are we able to enjoy every experience when we do this?
Do we feel happy?

Most of us in our days forget to take care of ourselves or the important task that we really do need to tend to.

For instance:

• Eating 3 meals a day
• Drinking water
• Exercising
• Reading
• Writing
• Paying Bills ontime
• etc.

Maybe it is time to adapt meditation in the daily routine so that it becomes apart of you like breathing. It will help clear your mind so that you can really focus on your task, be good to yourself and cut down on stress.

It only takes a moment.

For those of you that do not know much about meditation here is a quick crash course
Sit in a comfortable position (in your office chair, the couch, car, etc
Take deep breathes (focus on counting in 1.2.3.4.5/out 1.2.3.4.5)
You may feel funny at first but if you really just focus on breathing you will soon be taken away to another place. That is meditation.

Try it!

Exhausted

This heat really does drain the energy.

Somethings I do to keep cool
Wear light free clothing
Drink plenty of water
Not hang out in the street

These are some key things to remember.

Do you have any suggestions? Please add to the comments.

Brighter Side

Even when things seem bad a silver lining can be found.

Things can always be worse...

Remember this when you are dealing with life.

This too shall pass.
