Never borrow any money unless you have to.Never borrow from your future income. If you worry about what might happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you will have worried twice. 1. Say prayers to God through His Son, Jesus, everyday.

Don’t be afraid to speak to God and pour out your heart to Him.Don’t wait until its time to go to bed to work out your problems, instead try to nip them in the bud with God’s guidance, comfort, and assistance. 24. Always try to make friends with the godly people you know who love their Father in heaven and His Son.
25. Try to keep a folder of favorite scriptures you love on hand for emergency purposes.
26. Remember the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Try to laugh at yourself as often as you can. 28. Remember laughter is often good for your heart, mind, body, and soul.
29. Take the work you are doing for God seriously, and do the best job you can for Him.However, you should not take the ups and downs of life too seriously.
30. Try to develop a forgiving attitude towards other people who have wronged you and hurt you. 31. Remember to be kind to even unkind people, for they may need your kindness and love the most.
32. Do not get carried away with vanity or ego problems.
33. Remember to talk less and listen more.
34. Try to slow down whenever possible.

Refrigerator Goals
When I returned home from college for a break, I noticed a paper posted on the refrigerator.
It listed some goals my dad had set for himself:
It said, I need to help my wife more; lose weight; be more productive at work; etc.
I promptly added this to my dad’s goals: "Send Michelle money every month."
A few days later my brother wrote this for my dad: "Make payments on car for Jason."
Then my boyfriend joined in with a word to my dad: "Buy Tom a Jeep."
Finally my father decided to add a new goal to his amended list on the refrigerator.He said: "Remember to wean the kids."
