"...it's not the money you make, it's the money you hold on to" (121).
Because of how the way the world works, preparing for the future and later generations is something we have to start now. It is relative because money is something that can fuel our lives, and our passions. I have taken this to heart and learned how to save and not let the money flow out too quickly. My earnings are due to hard work that have been put forth so I want to keep it for very necessary and purposeful things in my life. "The way to get over a creative block is to simply place some constraints on yourself" (137). As hard as this sounds, I really like this idea. Often times I have too many ideas and I find it hard to narrow things down to one idea so I get stuck in a rut. Linking this idea to Phil Hansen's "Embrace the Shake". I want to try this on myself as soon as I get some free time! "If you ask yourself 'What's the best thing that happened today?' It actually forces a certain kind of cheerful retrospection that pulls up from the recent past things to write about that you wouldn't otherwise think about (130). Positivity is one way that I like to live my life. I had a teacher in high school—well liked— who was very optimistic about life and on the last day of class, we asker her how she is always so happy throughout the trials of life. She responded by saying that she wakes up and decides that she will be happy/positive for the day. She makes a conscious decision to leave out the negatives and move forward with her life. I likened that experience to this quote because the bad things are the things we think about most. It's hard to pick out the good things because we are so clouded by the negatives. I found this quote to be an uplifting exercise I want to try more often.
