How Your Nature Affects your Investments and Life?
Greetings from Hitesh! Our post on lousy traders and
lovely traders has become the most appreciated and read so far. Thanks for the
same. Many times I see most learned and full of potential guys living their
life in a normal condition. I often wonder how come they are not using their
full potential and make their life an example for others to inspire? I have
seen NATURE as one of the main reason for their situations. If you have read
your palm as per our post in October – that would have helped you to understand
your nature very well.
I am sure you
would have observed this in your life:-
1. While going to bed you decide to get up early and set an
alarm for 5am.
2. At 5am when alarm rings – you say let me sleep for 5-10
minutes more.
3. In sleeping for 5-10 minutes you get up at 7.30am.
4. Now you start cursing yourself for getting up late.
5. You get ready in tension and decide that from tomorrow you
will not repeat this mistake.
6. But when alarm rings at 5am next day – you forget your
decision and again decide to sleep for 5 -10 minutes more!!
I am sure you would have observed this. If you see in the
above example there are 5 persons involved.
1. One
who decides to get up early and set an alarm.
2. Who decides to sleep for 5- 10 minutes more.
3. Who
curses himself for not getting up as per the alarm.
4.Who makes the decision not to repeat the mistake tomorrow.
5.Who forgets everything next day and decides to sleep for
more time.
You always believed that you are one. But see there are 5
people involved in the above example.
What happens due to this?
Your energy, your intelligence, your efforts do not remain
focused and gets wasted in so many channels at the same time. When you are not
ONE, you can’t take advantage of your unique skill sets / your knowledge and
opportunities.
How does this affect your investment performance?
Say you had been asked to invest in early 2009. You were
logically convinced that market has made the bottom in 2008 and you should
invest now. But when you go to invest – what will happen if it goes down again?
You decide not to invest. When market went up to 17000 levels by July 2009, you
curse yourself for not taking action in January 2009!! Now you decide that if
falls come again – you will not miss the opportunity. But when market provided
opportunities in 2011 and 2013 – you did not take any action!! Even in last
November, when market was down due to demonetization and we had given a bold
call to buy, very few came forward. Today Market is up by 20% in a year in
spite of the poor performance of economy.
I have observed this behavior in the most qualified and so-called
street-smart guys.
How does this affect your Life?
Many guys make NEW YEAR resolutions and forget the next
day. Many times they get the idea that they are not living the life the way
they should have been living – but they forget the next day and get back to
their routine. Sheer waste of GIFT called Life.
Why this Happens?
This is happening due to Poly-Psychic nature. At any given
time there are many minds keep on working within you and you end up losing one
opportunity after the other.
What is a Way Out?
1. If
you also have this nature – just observe it. Be present to it. Do not try to
justify or rationalize the same. If you justify – you will go into consolation
business!! Away from TRUTH.
2. Feel
the pain of losing opportunity. If possible quantify your loss for not acting
in a way you decided to act.
3. If
you keep on missing the opportunities like you have missed in 2009/2011/2013/2016
– what is the opportunity cost for such mistakes? Quantify the opportunity loss
also. Write down all the losses on Paper and ask yourself – will life be kind
enough to give you those opportunities again?
If you take just three steps with 100% commitment to
yourself – you will get the acceptance of your mistakes and you will never
repeat the same!! That’s my assurance.
What’s my call?
At the end of your life – “you will repent more for the
shots you have not taken rather than for the shots you have taken”. Things you
have not done. Life you have not lived. If you have not lived the life 100%,
you will decide that in NEXT BIRTH you will not repeat the same – but you will
end up living the same way in next birth also.
That’s why GREAT SHANKRACHARYA in BHAJ GOVINDAM had said -
Punarapi jananam, punarapi maranam
Punarapi janani jathare shayanam
(You will keep on repeating cycle of births and deaths)
Take your own call. After all it’s your life ( that’s what
you claim!!)
