Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.

By learning to use money strategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration and failure will become a thing of the past.

It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is a sin
