close the doors to your past!
- in so far as any regrets or bitterness or post-mortems are concerned
- when you have attained peace of mind, your mind will automatically reject every thought and every mental reaction

being wealthy is not having peace of mind !!
We do need enough money so that we need not worry about everyday expenses. But money itself doesn't give us a peace of mind.
Do we realise that not working for money, but what money can bring?
Does money work for you, or do you work for money?

With positive attitudes, we see opportunities and prompts action.
With negative attitudes, we see fears, obstacles, difficulties and failure. It prompts inaction instead.

Fear is really something man created just to make himself suffer. It does nothing but cause worry and inaction, based on events that have not happened yet, and may not happen at all. Hence, it is important to LIVE IN THE NOW !!! In fact, thoughts of fear of something can actually directly or indirectly cause it to happen..
