"Complaining is the absolute worst possible thing you could do for your health or your wealth," Eker writes.
When you complain, you're focusing on what is wrong with your life — and what you focus on tends to expand, Eker explains.
"Like attracts like," the self-made millionaire writes. "When you are complaining, you are actually attracting 'crap' into your life."
Things you might consider to arrive at your personal number include:-
1. Your age and life expectancy
2. Your number of dependents (if any)
3. Where you live (or want to live)
4. Your current financial obligations
5. And the annual cost of living your preferred lifestyle.
Once you’ve got an idea what your “number” is, you have to determine how much you need to save – and what kind of return you need to earn – to reach it.
Only those who gain more retain any; from him who has not shall be taken away even that which he has. The normal desire for increased wealth is not an evil or a reprehensible thing. It is simply the desire for more abundant life. It is aspiration.
Did Jesus teach us to fear for the future? No, he taught that we should trust and that all would be taken care of.
The abundance in our life is a result of our belief in an infinitely abundant universe.
The selfish pursuit of money is a hollow goal, but the pursuit of the goodness that money can create is one of humanity’s greatest responsibilities.
Money has no feeling, no voice, and no soul – its choice between good or evil is decided by those who use it.
Those with little can still do much. If a person does not have money, they can instead use their time and efforts to further the advancement of humanity – positive actions that are of equal value to any charitable donations.
