Recently, I attended a Financial Literacy Seminar that focused on getting out of debt, money management and financial stability for our generation and the next. The seminar was very enlightening and also pointed out the need for education on these matters in our community. If you are interested in this free financial seminar and would like a visit to your church or organization, please contact me at 601-507-9567 for more information.
A word of encouragement from Pastor Marcus Mann. The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate — for the good and the bad. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you endure the ordinary in others, it increases your level to be just ordinary.
An important characteristic in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.
