Way back in 1994, it was a bright sunny evening. I was seated with a carrot juice in a street side stall in Kula Lumpur with my coach Rajesh Setty. Rajesh was talking about the characteristics of money and it was a wonderful discussion we had. He shared about Robert Anthony’s writing about money in his book in which Robert Anthony says, Money is like a river, it’s in abundance and it flows. It’s up to us to go to the river and drink as much. Some people not only drink but also fill a cup and take it along with them. Someone else may bring a jar, fill it and carry it along with them apart from just drinking there. Someone else might bring a barrel…
I got a chance to share this same thought with my then chairman Mr.S.A.Chandran, in 1999 and my thought had expanded then and I extended from the barrel to a truck. Mr.Chandran liked the thought and said “how about building a canal to divert the river to our office”. He smiled and I smiled listening to his powerful thought process.
This week, I was part of Landmark Education seminar. I heard the same message from the leader there. He said, “money is in abundance but we think it’s a highly constraint one, hard to get it and hence making it difficult to get it”.
I agree and align with what I have learnt about money in the last 15 years ‘MONEY is in ABUNDANCE’.
Today, it’s the summer season (recession time). The water (money) might have dried up in many parts of the world. But let me remind you, summer is when abundance water gets generated as the summer heat melts the great Himalayas and many other regions covered by ice which is the source for water that generates large volumes of fresh water. What’s important is to be there, where the fresh water flows and tap into it…
Money! Money! – It’s summer season, begin your journey to tap into the ice that just melted…
