    “Money has yet to make anyone rich.” ~ Seneca

       

      “Given the choice, would you rather save time or money?  Most people focus on dollars. But how you spend your time is much more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can often be corrected, but when you lose time, it’s gone forever.  Your priorities determine how you spend your time, and time is precious.  The following statements may help you put time in perspective:  To know the value of one year… Ask the student who failed the final exam.  To know the value of one month… Ask the mother of a premature baby.  To know the value of one week… Ask the editor of a weekly newsmagazine.  To know the value of one day… Ask the wage earner who has six children.  To know the value of one hour… Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.  To know the value of one minute… Ask the person who missed the plane.  To know the value of one second… Ask the person who survived the accident.  To know the value of one millisecond… Ask the Olympic silver medalist.  Your time is priceless.” ~ John C. Maxwell, Today Matters

        “Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you’re expecting a reward. Most people do the exact opposite: They only take action when they expect a reward, and they don’t enjoy the action. And that’s the reason why they don’t do their best.” ~ don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

          “You don’t feel empty because you don’t have much money. You feel empty because you have not yet encountered your real self, you have not come to your authentic individuality. Individuality makes you a light unto yourself.”

          Osho, The Book of Understanding (page 159) (Read Matt’s Blog On This Quote)

            “Seventy-five percent of our energy around the earth is being poured into war efforts. Are we servants of death and destruction? This 75 percent of energy could be poured into life, into the service of life-and there will be laughter, and there will be greater health, and there will be more wealth, more food. There will be no poverty. There is no need for poverty to exist at all.”

            Osho, The Book of Understanding (page 52)

              “If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart.” ~ Arabic Proverb

                “You don’t really pay for things with money, you pay for them with time. In five years, I’ll have put enough away to buy that vacation house we want. Then I’ll slow down. That means the house will cost you five years – one-twelfth of your adult life. Translate the dollar value of the house, car, or anything else into time, and then see if it’s still worth it.” ~ Charles Spezzano, Author

                  “None of those material possessions do anything to make your life any better… I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they’re absolutely the most miserable people in the world.  So it won’t do anything for you unless you’re a happy person and can have peace with yourself.” ~ Lenny Kravitz

                    “Find something you like to do so much that you would gladly do it for nothing; then learn to do it so well that people are happy to pay you for it.” ~ John C. Maxwell, Leadership Gold

                      “I made a list of the happiest periods in my life, and I realized that none of them involved money. I realized that building stuff and being creative and inventive made me happy. connecting with a friend and talking through the entire night until the sun rose made me happy. Trick-or-treating in middle school with a group of my closest friends made me happy. Pickles made me happy.” ~ Tony Hsieh, Delivering Happiness

                        “There’s nothing wrong with a paycheck, unless it interferes with your ability to earn what you’re worth. It usually does.” ~ T. Harv Eker

                          “Don’t be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.” ~ Arthur Miller

                            “Money doesn’t make us anyway it just unmasks us.” ~ Henry Ford

                              “Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.” ~ Indian Proverb

                              There’s more to life than money.

                                There's more to life than money.

                                “To be rich in admiration and free from envy, to rejoice greatly in the good of others, to love with such generosity of heart that your love is still a dear possession in absence or unkindness – these are the gifts which money cannot buy.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
