I feel myself moving very slow, dragging my feet. I'm nervous that success will overwhelm me and my children. Would you please come wrap your wings around us? Guide us, protect us, bless us, and love us. Make me feel safe so that I will speed up pace. I'm letting fear rob me of my motivation. What if I really don't know what I'm doing? What if I make a fool of myself? What if I never make a dime? What if I fail?

Please make your presence known. I don't want to guess or play at metaphors. Speak to me openly and with a clarity that cannot be denied. When I'm lost, don't carry me, just point way. When I have to make important decisions, speak up and tell me your opinion. When I'm doing right thing, smile on me.

I am sure you do -- Why else would you be reading this article? And I have good news for you!

You can do it! Yes, you can! It's really easier than you think. There are families out there, living good life on a shoestring. The good news is -- you and your family can do it, too!

The bad news is -- you may need a change of attitude in order to meet your goals. Yes, even with a step by step budget and plan, if you don't have right attitude, you may never find "good life".

It has been said, "Your attitude determines your altitude". If you always see glass as being half empty versus seeing glass as being half full, then you may not recognize good life even when you have it!
