One has to ask what is the goal of life? What is the goal of life? My interpretation of it for myself, a very wise teacher once taught me this, is to meet the needs of the people, places and the times around you and offering those services to God.

When you give, give from the place of the heart because it is the right thing to do, not the easy thing to do.

I have come to think that money is very much like a person, and it will respond when you treat it as you would a cherished friend - never fearing it, pushing it away, pretending it doesn't exist, or turning away from its needs, never clutching it so hard that it hurts. ... if you tend it like the living entity it is, then it will flourish, grow, take care of you for as long as you need it.

I get more inspired by seeing everyday people succeed against the odds than anything else in life.

There isn't a part of our lives that money doesn't touch - it affects our relationships, the way we go about our everyday activities, our ability to make dreams reality, everything.

When it comes to tackling your financial goals, whatever they might be, there's no time like the present.

It's better to do nothing with your money than something you don't understand.
