King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Money is Not the Measure

"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, & ability."
- Henry Ford

Many people make the same mistake of aiming at money, making money itself a goal or desire. This is an undesirable vision & grave mistake as money is worth nothing more than the value it is given. To associate money with security is about as wise as having discussions with your money, eating your money or even burning it to stay warm. We must never forget that money is simply a measure of worth, not the worth itself.

In order to experience true wealth & abundance, we must set our sights above monetary value to those things in our world that we truly desire. We do nothing but cheapen our dreams by pricing them, no matter the value.
- John Kanary
