Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized

Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the
year as you make use of. One man gets only a week's value out of a
year while another man gets a full year's value out of a week.

Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.

Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial
illness that has infected our families, organisations and nations.
Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial
illness and help them recover their financial health. They expect the
financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact
that it is these experts who created this financial mess.
Every new year, I adopt a couple of old maxims as my beacons to guide my future.
This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year,
I grow wiser and not older. This year, I invite you to tap into the
financial wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially
wiser.
Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.
Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income.
Spending: If you buy things you don't need, you'll soon sell things you need.
Savings: Don't save what is left after spending; Spend what is left
after saving.
Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender's slave.
Accounting: It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.
Auditing: Beware of little expenses; a small leak can sink a large ship.
Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet.
Investment: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
principles remain financially healthy. I'm equally confident that
those who resolve to start practicing these principles will quickly
regain their financial health.
Let us become wiser and lead a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful life.

Talismans
For millennia, mankind has found peace and solace in objects of
significance. When cleansed and consecrated through ritual, such
objects – be they gems, amulets, herbs, or written words – become
talismans. A talisman is any item imbued with a specific power by its
bearer to serve a specific intention. Ancient Egyptians used massive
stone tablets as healing talismans while the Greeks and Romans used
lead talismans to communicate with the spirit realm. Traditionally, a
talisman acts to anchor energy in the physical plane. That energy may
be protective in nature or may be intended to draw abundance, wealth,
or a wide variety of blessings to its user. Today, a talisman may be
made of wood, metal, paper, stone, or natural elements such as plants.
Often, talismans are small enough to be easily worn or carried, and
they may be marked with words or symbols that the talisman's owner
deems meaningful.
Creating and owning a talisman can reassure you and also serve to aide
you in attracting what you want in life. You may use your talisman to
help you attain health, security, or good luck. Or you may simply want
to carry an object with you that will remind you of your search for
soulful tranquility. In order to create a talisman, you must first
determine its physical properties. This can be as innocuous as a strip
of paper bearing the word "Love" and carried in a wooden box or cloth
sack. You may prefer a more visible talisman, such as a metal amulet
or a gemstone worn as jewelry. Before your object becomes a talisman,
however, it must be charged. This can be done by cleansing the object
– with water or with incense – and holding a ritual of your own
making. Or, you can leave the object in moonlight or sunlight or bury
it in the earth for a time. To preserve its effectiveness, talismans
should be reconsecrated regularly.
Almost any object can be transformed into a talisman of protection,
good fortune, health, love, or serenity. It may be strung on a cord
and hung around the neck, worn on a belt, or carried in a purse or
pocket. But the physical properties of the talisman are not as
important as the intention of its bearer. If you are grounded in your
desires, your talisman will give you a focal point that you can
concentrate on to affirm your intention and help you achieve your
goals.
