MONEY

Many act like they do not care about it yet inwardly crave everything it can provide. Though this is not a bad idea, it does not show them how to achieve their desires. I took time to inquire of the masters how to acquire lots of it. It is my pleasure to share with you what I was taught. The difference between the rich and the poor is not ability neither is it only character. I know this because there are many men of character and ability who are extremely poor. The difference lies in how each person sees money. This affects how he relates with it and ultimately how much of it he can attract. To the rich man MONEY IS A SEED, a means to an end rather than an end in itself. To further explain, I will use the steps from planting a seed to harvesting.
Having decided which crop to plant, a farmer know firsthand that you will definitely consume the seed you do not plant. So he reserves seed from the last harvest for the next planting season. Likewise a potential rich man puts away some of his money to produce more money for him.(SAVINGS).
He also knows that there can be no harvest without seeds so he protects his seed till the day of planting. Likewise rich men do not spend their savings for whatever reasons (DELAYED GRATIFICATION).Then comes the actual planting which is known as (INVESTMENT) to the rich man A farmer knows seeds flourish under certain exact conditions so he plants his seed in such an atmosphere. Likewise a rich man invests his money where he is sure of maximum profits. He ascertains the profitability of the venture before investing his money.
After planting, a farmer knows it takes time for a seed to grow into a matured plant. He also knows that for it to grow properly and yield maximum harvest, he has to carry out certain operations on the growing seed. Therefore, he does not abandon the seed before it matures into a plant. Rather, he gives everything it takes for it to grow. Likewise rich people never abandon their investment until it matures. They stay awake to protect and nurture their investment while it takes time to grow into a huge money spinner.
In addition, farmers are very optimistic people. I do not know of any farmer who will refuse to plant this year due to a bad yield last year. Rather they find out why there was a bad yield last year and make corrections to prevent it from occurring again. They may change seed type, planting field, fertilizer etc but they never stop planting. Likewise a rich man never stops investing because the yield was bad. They learn their lessons and invest once more. They do not stop until they have achieve desired results.
Come to think of it, making money is not as difficult as poor people think. Wherever you are, you can begin your journey to riches and get there if you follow through with the necessary steps. Whether you take the journey or not, you are solely responsible for your financial state.
