The evergreens, near the railroad tracks that I crossover on my way to work, are loosing color. This Georgia ‘drought’ has left them thirsty; they need water.

There is a large, blank canvas in my mother’s living room; Her busy schedule has left it empty. It needs her touch and the paint strokes that come from her fingertips. This canvas, like children, needs some consistent attention until it grows up into what it is supposed to be.

There are melodies in a songwriter’s head; and those songs need a beautiful and honest singer to bring them to life. Songs need a voice.

I say that to remind myself that there are so many things that money can’t buy:

It can’t buy the honesty and the mystery in the smile of a couple that is still in love after years of marriage and reality. It can, however, afford them a vacation to change their lives and renew their spirits (smile).

Money builds houses but families turn them into homes
Money buys cars but friends and adventure creates memories to talk about
Money is necessary, but it’s not everything.

My last point on freedom is this, money is a tool that gives us more freedom in the form of control over our time and choice over what we do with it.

What would you do if you didn’t have a nine to five–would you write a novel, visit your friends and family more, take dancing lessons, only you know? Or rather, what would you do more often? Because we can dance and write and visit now, so don’t wait!

The mission in your heart, the passion that you dream about probably requires money to make it a reality that will last for life times. So don’t be afraid of what money can do. Just get ready for success, because some of your dreams with require money among other things, and your dreams if managed properly will make you money without you selling your soul ‘to the devil’.

So make money
and make plans that matter
and make your personal missions real.
Solve problems that others can’t or won’t solve,
and do it all with a love and excellence that will change the people you encounter daily.
LIVE!!!

See you tomorrow . . .
