Get your mind and your money right, right nowIt's taken out of context, of course - but I like it better that way. I think this is something everyone should strive to do - and this is definitely one of my big life goals right now. I think these two things are intermingle a lot in your life. I also like the immediacy of the quote - don't wait - do it right now.

This quote kind of goes along with one of my previous posts where I question all the people complaining about our government and I wonder if the U.S. government is really that bad.
What in the world does getting your mind and money right have to do with how good of a job government is doing? Well, after I had written that post, I was reading a post over at The Simple Dollar. I won't go into what the post was about too much, but I want to quote Trent on a couple of items…
The most profound change you can make on the world as a whole is to get your own house in order. Railing about politics can be fun and it can also be cathartic. But, in the morning, you’re going to wake up to the same life you had yesterday, except possibly worse because you spent all your energy raging about a law or a corrupt official.That quote is how I link this post to my post about the government. At the end of the day, the government is doing a decent job - are you? Get your mind and your money right, right now.
