“I am extremely confused – whether to invest in Shares / Mutual Funds / Bank FDs / Postal Schemes / Land or Gold? Please help me.” – must read Independent Day Gift.

Independent Day Greetings to all of you dear reader. May GOD gives STRENGTH to Mr.Modi to fulfill his promise to bring ACCHE DIN for all of us in real sense in 69^th year of Independence. Till he brings – you do your trial and error. As such you are doing it. I keep on receiving questions from my readers and this one is one of them. I think this question might be bothering to most – so let me deal with the same in details.

“I am extremely confused”

I am happy that you are confused. Very few people are confused in this world. Majority of the people are very sure.  They have picked up some beliefs / readymade answers from their ancestors about - what is good / what is BAD / What should be done / How it should be done / whether to follow GOD or not?/ which GOD to follow? / Which religion to follow? / where to invest?  Which Girl to marry? etc., etc.

Confusion is BLESSING. Confusion means your mind is not able to decide which is the best course of action for you. Confusion comes because your mind is looking for sure shot answers / surety / guarantee / assurance / best way. In this way, Surety and Confusion are the two sides of the same coin.

To deal with your confusion – you go to some GURU / some knowledgeable person to get the SHORT CUT. Many times they give you solutions and you cling to that. Since, this is readymade answer and you have not searched for it - your inner confusion / doubt will still remain.

E.g. Most guys when they come to me they talk about long term investment and when MKT goes down by 500 points or their share goes down by 10% to 25% – they are the first one to call me – what to do? My answer is simple – you are getting your chosen stock 25% down – you are long-term investor – so ADD. Very few have GUTS to do this and that’s why very few investors are successful.

Let me share another example - Most Indian’s say – ATMA AMAR HEY – SOUL IS IMMORTAL. Now this is not his search. He is copying. So, this knowledge does not give him mental peace at the time of his death!!

How to deal with Confusion?

Confusion and Surety are the traits of MIND. Just drop the mind and you will drop both of them. When mind is dropped you get the CLARITY. Clarity is not SURETY!! Clarity says you have to experiment / you have to try / you have to dare / you have to be ready for any kind of results. Clarity says – unless you experiment – there is no way to find the real answers. 

Person of clarity will have no surety for his results. He is exploring. He is experimenting. He is ready for positive or negative outcome. In this way he will have no FEAR of Failure and no GREED of Success. The main thing is to TRY.

As long as you are TRYING – you are living. If you have seen Movie PIKU – Big B was trying to find out medicine for his constipation. The day he got the answer – he was dead. So, if you are not trying and relying on readymade answers – you are living without LIFE.

What Next?

Today we are celebrating 69^th Independence Day of INDIA. TRUE independence means able to explore and experiment your own ways, finding your own answers. As long as you rely on readymade answers – you are not TRULY independent!! DECIDE TO BE INDEPENDENT TODAY!!
