Courage
is a choice.
With honesty, empathy, and a dazzling knowledge of how the world
of money works, the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller
The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom invites us into a realm where
our lives and finances can abide and truly prosper in harmony.
In The Courage to Be Rich, Suzy Orman furthers the groundbreaking
teachings in the ways of money that she has brought to millions
of Americans, taking us through the financial milestones of our
lives and showing us how to summon the wellsprings of courage
within us all to:
- Clear away
financial clutter
- Break debilitating
patterns
- Protect
finances when entering into marriage or romantic partnership
Start over after divorce or death
- Buy a home
- Differentiate
between good debt and bad debt
- Invest-safely
and wisely-for the future
- Give generously,
live richly
- Learn and
teach the value of money
The courage
to be rich comes alive when you have the courage to recognize
what you really do value in this life, when you live-and spend-with
clarity. In order to truly rich, you have to not only value what
you have, but also have only things in our life that you value.
You have to value doing what is right over doing what is easy.
You have to value tomorrow along with today. Finally, once you
internalize these choices, you have to think them, say them, and
express them in your actions At that point you will want for nothing,
and you will have what you want.
Suzy's
first law of money ...
FIRST
PEOPLE, THEN MONEY, THEN THINGS.
You cannot
put a price tag on every element that makes up life. Thoughts
create words, words actions, actions habits, habit character,
character destiny. So how we THINK about money is important!
The
spirit of giving:
When you open your hands to make an offering you draw the world
back inside you.
