I was reading an article recently and thought it would be helpful to share with you. These are rules to live by.
In addition to the 10 rules for a good life ; a quote by Thomas Jefferson, I have added two additional rules which are the major foundations of financial planning.
By Thomas Jefferson – Our Founding Father
1. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have it.
4. Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap; it will never be dear to you.
6. Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.
7. Never repent of having eaten too little.
8. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
9. Don’t let the evils that have never happened cost you pain.
10. Always take things by their smooth handle.
10. When angry, count to 10 before you speak; if very angry, count to 100.
11. Pay yourself first.
12. Don’t allow your possessions to rule your life
Pay yourself first and never spend your money before you have it, will go a long way to insure that you live a rewarding and full life. The less stress you place on yourself financially the happier and healthier you will be.
Personal possessions have a negative way in impacting our lives, the more stuff you accumulate the less control you will have over your life.
In life the rewards you will enjoy will be measured in part by the risks you are willing to take. There is a saying ” Taking no risks is the biggest risk of them all.”
Next week Claudia will share with you her experiences with Isagenix and how it can help you stay healthy and fit. Isagenix can also reward you financially, I will elaborate further on the financial side of the program in later posts so stay tuned.
