If you are heading the wrong way, remember that God permits U-turns.  … It is you and only you who can act to change the course of your financial vehicle.  You must grab hold of that steering wheel, turn it, and drive yourself in the right financial direction.

Always remember that, no matter how good any financial situation may look at the moment, if it is not grounded in the truth, the foundation it has been built upon will eventually crumble.  Lies destroy money, and truth creates it. … If you lie about who you are with your money, you will tend to […]
