Are you\nstill skeptical to even imagine there are possibilities available to you and\nthe fact that YOU have an in-built capability to get a freedom from the\nstressful routine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well\nthen, I recommend you to stop here and continue doing what you are doing\nhappily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People\nreading further must possess following traits: Openness of mind, curiosity\ninstead of doubt, relentless commitment to themselves and their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sorry for\nthat harsh warning. But please understand, my writing is not for having 1000\nlikes or shares, I’d rather want ZERO likes\/shares but create 10 readers who\nwould get motivated and start taking actions for themselves and their loved\nones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming\nback to the metaphor that I started with, when we have our monthly paycheck\ncoming in our bank, everyone has some *savings* left which is *invested\nsomewhere.* These *savings* are the seeds I am talking about, rest of the money\nis spent *buying* the fruits someone else has grown for our current family\nneeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now think\nof the possibility that the *seeds* (savings) we *sown* (invested) to grow into\nplants and *trees* (Investments) to provide us *fruits* (Dividend\/Interest) in\nour later days, such that we don’t have to *buy* them, as we are doing it\ntoday? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you\nthink that fruits that we would get in future, would still have *seeds* for\nfurther growth (Unless we grow seedless fruits, that is ;)). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now this\nis too rosy, right? All along we have been hearing from our parents “Paise\nkya ped pe ugte hai” “Does money grow on trees?”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My dear\nfriends, today I want to answer that question as “Yes” and there are\nhundreds of Money Trees!! Their behavior is also analogous to real trees and\nthey also have fruits with different shapes and sizes!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But my\nquestion is are you ready for Money farming? It has similar risks that a farmer\nhas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can a\nfarmer say if I plant 10 seeds, it will grow 10 trees? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some will\nnot even incubate, some will be plucked by birds\/animals while at sapling\nlevel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some will\nacquire some diseases, and only possibly one will see the bright sunlight and\nenjoy life and start bearing the fruits<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When\npeople ask me, Kiran, how do we know which one of that seed made to the tall\nfruit bearing tree? My answer to them is “Well, did the farmer know that\nanswer?” Absolutely not, but what he did instead is he had sown 10 seeds\nand given equal love and affection, equal efforts and attention to all of them.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did the\nbest possible use of what he had in his hand, rest followed naturally and\nautomatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robert\nKiyosaki, the well-known author of the best-selling book “Rich Dad Poor\nDad” says, you’ll find many ordinary people who haven’t lost any money in\nthe investment, but you’ll not find a single rich person who have never lost\nany money, ever!! Now, that doesn’t mean that if you’ve lost money, you are\nrich :), are you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I compare\njob as a *golden cage*. With a promotion, you get a bigger and spacious golden\ncage. The owner will take very good care of you, you’ll have everything to feed\non, with more space, you’ll think you have got a freedom. You also have a\nsafety and security of the cage itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well,\njobs are not bad, if you are enjoying your work and life within the cage and\nhappy to remain within the cage with the sense of security given, this\ndiscussion is not for you. Because, ultimately, being happy is what matters the\nmost in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is\nonly the burning desire set within you to fly high makes us think of\nboundaryless freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\npulls us back is our own disbelief on whether you’ll be able to survive the\noutside world which is totally unknown. That\u2019s the reason we crave so much for\nour school and college days. Those were the real golden days with boundaryless\nfreedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if\ndestiny sets you free, when someone is laid off from a job, rather than\ndiscovering opportunities in outside world, he\/she desperately starts looking\nfor getting inside any cage that is out in the market. At times, even a smaller\ncage, for a fact that they are not open to ideas and being outside cage\nfrightens them to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you\nthink someone can offer you the same employment benefits, security, etc. and\nyou don’t even have to work for him? Sounds crazy? But yes, there is a person\nwho is holding that opportunity for you. Its none other than YOU YOURSELF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well this\nsets up a new question in front of us? How much money do YOU need when you say,\nI’ve enough and don’t need anymore? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s\nponder over this till we meet next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
