 Money, an ever-present force in our lives, holds the potential to shape not only our financial status but also our overall well-being. Reflecting on my attitude towards money prompts introspection into the values and beliefs that guide my financial decisions.

Personally, my attitude toward money is one of balance. While recognizing its significance in providing security and enabling experiences, I strive to view it as a tool rather than a master. Money, in my perspective, should be a means to achieve goals, foster growth, and contribute positively to the community.

The influence of this attitude on my life is substantial. By maintaining a balanced view, I avoid the pitfalls of excessive materialism or undue frugality. I acknowledge the importance of financial planning without letting the pursuit of wealth dominate my aspirations. This perspective has allowed me to lead a life that is not solely defined by monetary pursuits but is enriched by meaningful experiences and relationships.

Understanding that one's view of money can significantly impact their life, it's crucial to adopt rules for prospering. Firstly, financial literacy is key. A clear understanding of budgeting, investing, and saving empowers individuals to make informed decisions. Additionally, cultivating a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity opens up possibilities and encourages a proactive approach to opportunities.

Moreover, the importance of long-term thinking cannot be overstated. Patience and perseverance in financial endeavors contribute to sustained success. Avoiding impulsive decisions and staying focused on overarching goals align with the philosophy of prospering over time.

In conclusion, our attitude towards money is a compass guiding the direction of our lives. By adopting a balanced perspective, acknowledging the role of money as a tool, and adhering to principles of financial literacy and patience, we can navigate the intricate landscape of personal finance and, in turn, lead fulfilling and prosperous lives.

 September 24th-30th This week was a good week with learning about things that are right and things that are wrong. In two of my classes we focused on morals and ethics and how it applies not only to how businesses act but how it applies to us in our daily lives. It's helped me realize what things I should and can be lenient with in my life and other situation's and things that I have to be strict with so that I'm able to stay within my own ethics. Another thing that I learned from this week is that the Lord sometimes makes it very obvious with what he wants you to do. He may put the same person in your path everyday until you talk to them, you may repeatedly see the same things that the Lord wants you to look into or he may continue to give you the same impression over and over again until you act on it. From this weeks readings and videos, the most important thing that I took away from it was that we should never bend or break or compromise our own integrity. Integrity is...

  The article written by Handy goes over many things of a business such as virtue and integrity as well as real justification and how it comes into play within the business world and how it applies to individuals and companies. Virtue and integrity are essential to an economy because markets rely on rules and laws. These rules and laws, in turn, depend on truth and trust. If truth is concealed or trust is eroded, the reliability of the market diminishes. The article suggests that if businesses sacrifice truth or erode trust, markets may empty, share prices may collapse, and people may seek alternative places to invest their money. In this context, virtue and integrity contribute to the stability and functioning of the economic system. The article suggests that the real justification for the existence of businesses goes beyond merely making a profit. While making a profit is important, it is considered a means to a larger end. The purpose of a business, according to Handy, is to mak...

  Entrepreneurship isn’t just a career; it is all about the journey you go through and all the various skills and other things you learn along the way. It is a common practice to go from company to company to learn from others and develop your own skills and to understand more fully what it is in life that you want to accomplish. Throughout this process people usually realize what kind of business they want to create and how it will affect the world. Randy Haykin is a prime example of this process, he first started at a larger company and learned and grew his knowledge as well as grew the other people he knew that were on similar paths. This helped him to realize what he wanted and helped him throughout his journey of building up his own business. This is a big thing that I learned this week. I also learned a lot of the second coming and the signs of the times as well as what they mean. Another thing that I learned is that the church is under condemnation regarding the scriptures. ...
