Don't let what others think or say get in your way; their actions reflect on them, not you.

So many financial dreams are thwarted by the failure to act upon good intentions.

You're thinking to yourself, 'How is it possible that I am going to pay back $150,000 in student loans? I'm never going to pay that back. What am I going to do?' Listen to me and listen to me good, class of 2013. I want you to think back to all of these things you said to yourself, 'I can't do that. I can't palpate a cow. And what's worse, palpating a cow or taking semen from a horse?' But you did it, didn't you?

A big part of financial freedom is having your heart and mind free from worry about the what-ifs of life.

We never had it as rough as the kids have it today. Look at the price of a gallon of gas or a piece of real estate or a college education.

You must trust yourself more than you trust anyone else with your money.

You'd better have faith that everything happens for the best. Nothing happens in your life that isn't something that you are meant to learn to get you where you need to go so you can become who you are meant to be. And that meant-to-be might be someone you don't even know exists at this moment in time.
