Budgeting is something many of us can't stand doing, but in order to succeed in what we tackle in life we must be aware of our inflows and outflows. As I wish money didn't matter, it is the form of currency that we use to represent the value of things. So grab the bull by the horns, make a chart on paper, and see how much comes in and where it goes. It's surprising how easily we forget where it goes. I find it useful from time to time to look and examine my lifestyle.
Pets too can provide an abundance of positive energy.
I, having three dogs, can attest to this. Last, but not least, is LOVE, because without it all the rest falls by the wayside. Perhaps the greatest lesson we are meant to learn here is the Lesson of Love. To be able to give it, and receive it.
