Here is how to make an honest living, with confidence and minimal worry:
Determine how much you need to provide for your family’s needs.
Get into a business that can make that sum of money.
Put your best foot forward and do whatever needs to be done.
And stop there. Invest yourself, but don’t enslave yourself. Do your job, but don't become your job. No anxiety, no fretting, no sleepless nights. More will get you less.
That’s a job: You put out a bucket just the right size in the rain and trust that heaven will fill it to the brim.
