How Many of You Would like to DANCE in your GRAND CHILDREN’s Marriage?

Greetings from Hitesh! Today we are dealing with 100% different subject matter. Today we are going to talk about you and things which are 100% in your control.

You may have got tons of money, excellent position in your job or doing very good in your business – but how is your health at this moment? How it would be 5 -20 years down the line if you keep on living the way you are living now? 

How is your relationship with your family members? How lively you are? Apart from your business/job, do you have any other interests/passion which can keep you busy 8-10 hours post-retirement?

When I started my career – my GRANDFATHER asked me to set my goals. I was very novice and didn’t have much exposure to the world and the life per se. Looking at my GRANDFATHER, I just said, I also would like to dance in my GRANDCHILDREN’s Marriage, the way you did. Frankly, I was too immature to understand the meaning of the same at that time. But when I came to active trading in the stock market, I realised the meaning of the same. This one goal was very comprehensive, and it took care of the following areas, automatically.

Health: -

Assuming you had a kid between age 25-30 and your son/daughter will also have a kid around age 25-30. Your GRANDCHILDREN will get married when your age is between 75-85 years. So, you need to keep yourself FIT till your age 75-85.

To dance in your GRANDCHILDREN’s Marriage is very emotionally involving and you will take all steps to keep yourself fit till that event.

The outcome will be you will have a healthy life till you live, whether your grandchildren marry or not.

Relationships: -

You will be called in the marriage only and only if you have kept a good relationship with your kids. I see there is a drastic increase in DIVORCE rate in the age of 45-65. This was unheard in India. But this is a fact. In an early age also, there is an increase in DIVORCE rate. Now, your KID is with your WIFE or with your HUSBAND – you will get emotionally detached slowly and gradually. You will lose the interest or purpose to keep in contact with them over a period.

The above goal will force you to keep a healthy and mutually beneficial relationship with your spouse. This will also force you to get married to the right person in the first place. This will also force you to keep healthy relationships with your kids.

The outcome will be, you will always have people around you to share your success and failures. You will always have an emotional purpose to live for. When you have an emotional purpose to live for, your age will increase by default and you will be young at heart.

Wealth: -

There are two major aspects to the wealth creations. If you have the above goal – you will have a staying power to deal with your failures in your Job/Business/Investments. You will try harder despite your repeated failures. Those who are not emotionally attached to their people will easily give up. They will have no purpose to earn more and more money as they are all alone by themselves.

On the positive side, if you succeed, you will have a lot of reasons to spend money for the comfort and happiness of your people.  

If you study all the wealthy guys who stayed wealthy and enjoyed that for generations – they all had a happy family life. So, keep your family together if you want to reach to the top of the wealth chart.

Contribution: -

Most guys post-retirement feels that their family members should not expect any contribution in terms of household work from them. They have done enough and now it is the time of son and daughter in law to do the needful.

This happens despite the old guy is healthy. He will not go and buy vegetables, pick up kids from tuition or other classes, monitoring the maid working in the house. He just takes the MALA to do the NAM JAP or goes to TEMPLE and spend time there.

They are running away from their family members in this way. Their family members will not feel happy to keep this guy with them. They will find this guy as a liability than an asset. No doubt, there is an increase in the number of OLD AGE homes in India.

Thanks to the above GOAL, you will try to contribute to your people’s life in whichever way you can. You will do small – small things which your son and daughter in law find it difficult to manage due to their job/business schedule. This will again give you a strong purpose to live and keep you mentally and physically fit.

Gratitude: -

Communists are complaining that the RICH are getting richer. There is a section of people who feel jealous of the guys who are successful. These are the guys who remain poor and who have more and more challenges in their life.

Most successful people have the attitude to gratitude for whatever they have. They always thank the GOD for showering his blessings on them. For this kind of people, it is said in the BIBLE – “More will be given to those who have”.

Only and only, with GRATITUDE you can feel you have more than what you deserve. That’s why more will be given to you by existence. So, develop an attitude of gratitude for whatever is given to you.

What may happen in REALITY?

Life is not a CAKE WALK. It will have its ups and down and you will have fare shares of challenges in your life. Since you have kept the above GOAL, you will deal with all the challenges as a stepping stone towards your goal. If at all you do not live that long, you will have a purpose to live till your last breath and it will keep you alive.

I shared my goal. You can set your own goal and I am sure the above may act as a platform for your thinking.

Wish you all a GREAT SUNDAY.
