Hello,

In this week’s lesson we watched videos and read article to make us think about the sacrifices we need to make to have an abundant life.
To have an idea of what we will have to sacrifice, we need to decide what are our priorities. Is it family? Is it the business? 

What can I do to found balance and live a happy life?

I believe that the life is cyclical which means that sometimes we will need to make decisions and focus on one area of our lives (living other areas in slow) but it won’t last forever. Once we achieve our goal, we will change our priorities and we will take care of other area.

 

 

One important area to plan and organize to have success is our financial life.
This week we could learn from successful people how important it is to take good care of our money. We need to have clear goals where we want to be financially and what we will have to do (and sacrifice) to get there.

 

Unlikely I lot of people think, looking for money and having money are something that God expect us to do. If we have money, we can easily help people in need, for example. Our Heavenly father wants us to be self-sufficient, to leave our comfort zone and improve in all areas of our lives, specially financially.

In the article Attitude on Money by Stephen W. Gibson, we learned the rules we need to follow if we want to prosper:

Rule 1. Seek the Lord and have hope in him 

Rule 2. Keep the commandments, that includes the temporal ones, tithing and fast offerings. 

Rule 3. Think about money and plan how you can become self-reliant. 

Rule 4. Take advantage of chances for learning so you will not be ignorant of these matters. Education, as President Hinckley has taught us, is the Key to Opportunity. 

Rule 5. Learn the laws upon which the blessings of wealth are predicated. 

Rule 6. Do not send away the naked, the hungry, the thirsty or the sick or those who are held captive. 

I am so glad that our Heavenly Father guides us not just spiritually, but emotionally, personally, professionally and financially. 

I know that if we trust him and put him as a priority, we will be happy and succesfull.
