FINANCE
So you ' re checking out all your bills and realize you are barely breaking even , and don ’ t have much left to spare . The total of your bills almost exceeds your bank accounts and payroll . You begin to panic , breathe faster , and then it starts … the worry , stress , anger , and sometimes depression . Your mind begins to receive an overload of negative thoughts and your happiness begins to deplete , all because the numbers aren ’ t where you want them to be .
At this moment , take a step back and pause . Breathe . You know that thing you do to inflate your lungs with air and live ? Yeah , do that thing . Your mind is filled with nothing but negativity . Walk away , relax , recover from this anguish and don ' t look at the numbers again until you protect your mind , pray , and accept the situation . If you choose to be angry with your financial situation then you won ' t be able to fix it . Don ' t let these feelings and emotions distract you from the solution . You have a solution ; just breathe . You are richer than you think .

You ’ re Richer Than You

THINK

Miesha Moriniere
You ’ re not happy with the way the numbers add up and you ’ re trying to figure out how you ’ re going to get more money . You don ’ t realize that you already have the money . I know , I know , money can be rude with all the disappearing tricks it plays , but let me help you find where that money went . Remember , we ' re breathing right now and rejecting all negative thoughts . Positive thoughts
Find money where you didn ’ t think you had any !
With discounts you just have to ask . I always ask and it ’ s wonderful when they actually say , “ Yes ! We offer several discounts here .” If you don ’ t ask then they won ’ t tell . I ’ ve had people give me a discount just because I asked .
