Know the Strongest Enemy of Your Financial Success and Defeat It

Greetings from Hitesh! I am really pleased with the responses with your last email titled “What Will You Do, if IRAQ situation turns into 3^rd World War?” When I was thinking about war, a thought came to my mind, who is the real enemy of a man kind? Being in investment side of the world, my thoughts are focused to deal with financial success more than anything else. So, I will deal with this issue from that perspective.

But before I deal with that, I want to ask one simple question -  

What is the meaning of money for you?      

Just think for a minute and if you wish you can jot down your points on paper. Normally, there can be as many meaning of money as many people are there. But, I want you to ask this specific question to yourself. My survey over the years has given me some of the meaning people attach to their money.

Meaning of Money:-

1.   Financial independence.

2.   Freedom of choice.

3.   Enjoy comfort and luxuries of the life.

4.   Power to do whatever you wish to do.

5.   Capacity to Donate and make difference in the world around you.

6.   It acts as a Sixth Sense for other 5 senses.

If all attach only positive meaning and if all really believe in them, you all should have been Bill Gates. But there is only one Bill Gates in this world. How come?

We attach many other meaning along with the above meanings.

1. Paise Haath Ka Mel Hey, Kabhi Bhi Aa Sakta Hey!!

2. You can not buy everything with Money!!

3. Money is the root of all evil in this world.

4. Paise to MAYA Hey.

5. It is too costly. We can not afford it.

6. Pasie To Naseeb Mey Hoga,  Toh Milega!!

What Happens Due to This?

You have two different kinds of thoughts running in your mind. One can push you towards money and other can put you off. Average person is not able to come out of this in-fighting of his inner thoughts and the results are average thoughts / average work and average money.

Do we have duality of thoughts in any other area?

In most of the areas of life, we are fighting with these kind of opposite thoughts in our mind. We have lost the genuineness from our life. Depending on the situations, we change our meanings!!

Just take an example of a Woman.

In Manu Smriti, it is said…. Yatra Naryastu Pujyante, Ramante Tatra Devata – which means where Women are honored, divinity blossoms there. So, worship women.

Just take another thought – “Aurat Narak Ka Dhwar Hey” (women are doors to hell). So, stay away from her!!

If you grow up listening to these kinds of thoughts, do you think you can deeply love your wife/mother/sister or daughter? If your children are born out of this dualities……do you think they will be happy ever?

In short, most of our life energy is divided in two extremes!! When you are divided, whatever you do, it will remain an average only. You will feel the hollowness within. You will live your life for others.

How Most Successful People Think?

They have the fine ability to make the distinctions in all the areas of life. They see money as the most important resources in achieving their goals!! Money is never a goal for them!! For all average people Money is A GOAL!!

Their terminology will never have sentences like – “I can not afford it” Or “It’s too costly”!!

They always ask – How will I arrange money for this purpose?

If you read the hidden difference between above two situations you will realize that – in the first Money is important – your happiness or achieving your goal is not!!

In the second, your goal / your happiness is important, money is not!!

What is the way out?

Have you seen a mother handling a naughty child……at first she will tell, I will tell your DAD that you are not listening to me!!

If still child does not listen to her, she would tell her Husband to look at the child……and as soon as Daddy looks at the child, child becomes normal!!

Same way when you face with naughty thoughts in your mind, just tell your mind that you are referring it’s thoughts to Intelligence for its guidance.

If mind and intelligence are not able to handle your thoughts, just watch them with total awareness. Be the seer. When you just see them with awareness, your conflict will end immediately. Just try. It’s simple.

In Geeta, Lord Krishna called it a SAKSHI BHAV (be Witness).

What Next?

Just see the dualities in your thoughts. Work on them. Be focused single mindedly on what you really want in your life. You can sing following song…

 O laagi tum se man ki lagan

 Lagan laagi tum se man ki lagan, 

 Gali gali ghume dil tujhe dhundhe, 

 tere bin tarase nayan

 Lagan laagi tum se man ki lagan. 

This will solve your financial problems from root.

I wish you a very happy weekend.

Hitesh Parikh
