Suze Orman

I'm about to go to bed and came across Suze Orman on KVIE and she's speaking at a women's conference titled "Women and Money." Who doesn't want guidance from a professional about money? She mentioned 8 Qualities of a Wealthy Woman and in inspecting them, she's got some pretty good points.

8 Qualities of a Wealthy Woman
1. Harmony- Harmony is when your thoughts, words, actions and feelings are all the same. How often to we say things but mean another or think one thing but do another. All 4 of these need to be Harmonious.
2. Balance - Balance is when there is equilibrium, confidence, and actions within you to make good decisions. Balance and Harmony go hand in hand...if you have one you can have another.
3. Courage - Courage is the emotion or the energy that can quiet the fear that keeps you from doing what you know is right.
4. Generosity - Generosity is when it is as much of a gift to the person to whom you're giving, as it is to yourself. You are empowered by what you are giving when you are generous.
5. Happiness - Happiness comes from when you're truly Harmonious, Balanced, Courageous and Generous. Everyone around you is happy because you're happy. You don't go out buying things you don't need, in order to make you happy.
6. Cleanliness - Cleanliness helps your wealth because wealth cannot dwell in filth. When things are clean and uncluttered, you have no excuse for why bills aren't paid; because you know where they are and when they're due. You'll feel Harmonious, Balanced, Courageous, and Happy if you are clean.
7. Beauty - Beauty is when you fee the inner beauty and strength and feel confident. You know your worth and your strength, and when you feel beautiful, you feel confident.
8. Wisdom - Wisdom is the right choices with your money and your loved ones. Choice are based on all 8 of these Qualities.

They all go hand in hand and if one of these isn't functioning properly, everything will be in disarray.

I feel like these are just good Qualities for a HEALTHY woman. I feel like I exude like 5 or 6 of these 8 which COULD be why I haven't stored $500,000 in an off shore account! haha

I'm not happy right now in life. I know that it's work that it all boils down to, and each day I try to not let it get to me, but I've pretty much committed my life to it and take it very personally. I do what I cant to make work go smoother and easier for everyone and not everyone appreciates that...infact they're so bold as to have attitudes about it. (Hince my unhappiness)

I'm also working on the "beauty" part too...I'm on what I like to call "Operation Size 2" which in essence is me losing weight. I've lost 9lbs so far and I'm aiming for 20 more, which won't put me at a size 2 but you get my drift! I'd be 19 sizes closer! (none of which you probably cared to know just now)

I'm not always WISE with my my money. While I'm not UNWISE, I spend it on frivolous things...sodas, eatting out, etc...I need to be a better saver and not be such a good spender. I know I've been blessed beyond belief with the money I make and do have, but I need to be wiser with it.

How are you with these 8 Qualities? Is your life Harmonious and Balanced? Are you Courageous, Generous and Happy, Clean/Organized, Beautiful and Wise? I think everyone could use a tune up here and there right?!!
