for instance, many people mistakenly believe that anger makes them strong and able to fight for what they need and desire. There's no need to fight to get what you want, and anger doesn't strengthen you-it weakens you. Spending out of anger-to get back at a spouse or to rebel against your parents-simply hurts you.

Remember, too, that when you give value unconditionally, you'll increase your wealth-don't get attached to how much money you want to create, and when. Know your rights. Look into loans, debt consolidation, and credit-management services, which are low cost or even, in some cases, free. Learn the lessons of your debt and accept the consequences: Get a second job, sell your possessions, move into a smaller home, or do whatever it is you have to do to pay off what
