Happiness is a how; not a what. A talent, not an object.

Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.

Begin noticing and being careful about keeping your imagination free of thoughts that you do not wish to materialize. Instead, initiate a practice of filling your creative thoughts to overflow with ideas and wishes that you fully intend to manifest.

If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.
