Don't work, Don't eat

"Early to bed, early to rise, keeps you healthy, wealthy and wise." - Benjamin Franklin

My mom used to tell me, "if you don't work, you don't eat!" That means you got to work! 

My friend was driving down the highway today and she saw a homeless person holding a sign by the side of the road that said, "now accepting master card and visa." When I heard this I couldn't help but laugh because the guy was holding the sign and he had a huge smile on his face and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. I sometimes wonder how and where he got that cigarette?

Which led me to write this post. 

If you don't work, you don't eat. (2 Thessalonians 3:10) 

In order to achieve your dreams you must put in effort, time, and practice. Nothing good is gained by just sitting at home doing nothing and waiting for the world to hand you a piece of pie. Even athletes train for the olympics months and months before they compete! In order to get out of debt, or save money, we must be willing to roll up our sleeves and get to work! For some this may mean taking a second job, for some it may mean working overtime, or for some it may even mean GETTING A JOB.
Yes a J-O-B, JOB. 

Don't be afraid, just start by taking these three small steps below:
