Money matters!
Before I open up with all that happened in my life in the past 6 months, I would like to share something interesting with you guys. I am now one of the panel astrologers on Sify Astrology - here is the URL you can visit to buy my customized products. At present I have showcased only one product ? and I will be introducing 9 other products at the earliest.
The last 6 months have the best in my life so far. A period in which I started hating most things around me?the job, the people, and the whole world to be precise. May be I took Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan?s words too seriously in my life.
I was damn impressed with one of Shahrukh Khan?s statements in one of his interviews. He was asked how do you feel having so much money, fame and wealth. And he replied they are just peripherals. What I like is acting and I do it with 100 per cent sincerity, rest comes on its own. His advice was, ?never work for money - just go behind your passion and dream.?
I did exactly what he said, and to be honest what I was left was a dream and hell lot of passion. Passion doesn?t feed your family nor would get your kid an admission in the school. What you need end of the day is MONEY? this was the first lesson I learnt.
The present world gauges you on the basis of where you work and how much you earn, and most friendships and relationships are based on them. Love, honesty, dedication and loyalty are few soothing words that sounds great to be heard once in a while.
The world around you is a heaven when you are positioned well, and the same world could be a hell if you fall down ? monetarily. Philosophies, dogmas, scriptures come handy only when you have other things in place. A beggar won?t be thinking about God when his stomach is empty. Religion, God and Godmen are for those people who need not have to worry about their food, cloths, shelter and wealth.
I have a friend who beautifully said ? I want to do a lot of social service, and for that I need money. So I am chasing money now. Once I get it, I will get into service. Made great sense to me.
Life revolves around this limited resource called money?.and I think I need to do what I hated the most in life ? chase money.
PS ? You can trust money-minded people who accept money is important in life more than the self-proclaimed saints who claim that money isn?t important.
