How much money can you ask for?

How_much_money_can_u_ask_for_1

I feel a person should be comfortable asking for money, even big money – whether it be charges against one’s services or donation for some cause or a wife asking from her beloved husband or whatever. One should be child-like while asking. Asking requires one to shed his sense of somebodiness, sense of identity.

Introverts have a worse time asking for money than extroverts. It’s a limitation they should learn to get over. I am one and so I speak from experience. While I have come a long way, I have a long way to go yet. My current role model as regards this aspect is Osho.

Stingy people live a difficult life

Stingy_people_live_a_difficult_life

Stingy people live a difficult life. Planned frugality is a quality, but helpless parsimony is not. Minimalism is a quality, but inability to spend when you want something and have the resources too, is a curse.

Being able to spend handsomely is a great quality. It’s a trait that the genuinely prosperous people are blessed with. A study reveals that on an average  people die with 75 percent of their net worth intact. Generally they leave it for the posterity.   As if the posterity is not capable of earning on their own!

Assuming I don’t have enough money, it makes a vicious circle for me; it’s a trap, an unjust one. It’s like saying that money builds on money. That’s what our fore fathers told us too. But well where do I get the first chunk of money to begin with? Who will gift me the first chunk, the seed money? If only I had a rich father… Keep Reading

The moment money becomes a measure of how worthy you are, you have dug your own grave. Now you size your self‐worth in proportion to the moolah raked away in your bank account. Well, this is a trap, also a catch 22 of sorts. You can’t feel good about yourself until you have made enough money and you can’t make enough money, by and large, until you feel good about yourself. Why should money be good to somebody who isn’t good to himself? You attract all goodies only when you are good to yourself. Keep Reading

Prosperity but Playful

prosperity_but_playful

Prosperity is a beautiful state, a great accomplishment. It’s also a beautiful word, albeit narrowed and watered down in its colloquial definition.

Genuine Prosperity is not so narrow, it’s all‐encompassing. Though it has typically come to be narrowly defined as material abundance. Material abundance it is, but it’s just a part of prosperity; a major part of it. Keep Reading
