To attract money, you must focus on wealth. it is impossible to bring more money into your life when you are noticing you do not have enough, because that means you are thinking thoughts that you do not have enough. Focus on not enough money, and you will create untold more circumstances of not having enough money. You must focus on abundance of money to bring that to you.

Between molts, a lobster’s flesh becomes densely packed within its shell, and a new shell, soft ad flexible, is laid down inside the old. To make it easier for the lobster to pull itself out of the old shell, it manages to shrivel the flesh in the appendages to about a quarter of their normal size. Then, just prior to molting, a lobster absorbs lots of water, which causes the new shell to swell, eventually pushing away the old one.
When a lobster sheds its skin, usually it occurs in a burrow where the lobster can be protected until the new shell has hardened. This is important because the soft casing is very vulnerable to attack. Being protected in a cave or burrow during the weeks and months that its shell will take to fully harden allows tissue to replace the water that gained prior to molting. This gives the lobster the security it needs to fully grow into its shell, so that the cycle of molting and growing can begin again.
People are like that. Everyone needs some kind of protection from the world at large. So, we carry an outward persona, or way of being, that comes to feel quite comfortable over the years.

We may claim that we don’t decide which values and beliefs are the right ones and believe we merely following the teaching of someone who speaks “the truth”. The reality is that we are the ones who decide who will be our guide and which, out of dozens, if not hundreds, of interpretations of scripture, or of plain old principles for moral and ethical living, is the correct one.

Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.

The Real Difference Between Gentleman and Man

Having attending seminars before, I have seen masses there with the rows of chairs for the audience. Compared to the one that I have attended recently, those seminars consisted of just men.

This one had gentlemen all over the place. The men in those seminars simply crossed their arms and sat up straight so that you, the lady, could squeeze into the available seat just 5 seats away from those men.

This seminar had all the gentlemen quickly standing up to give up their seats to the ladies who entered the room late. The lateness could be due to anything but I saw gentlemen.

The men at the other seminars can go suck their thumbs and stop wondering why the ladies are complaining that chivalry is dead.
