Those who condemn wealth are those who have none and see no chance of getting it”, is a very witty remark by William Pen Patrick. Candidly speaking there is certainly no reason to condemn wealth. Wealth creation is an inevitable necessity and quite worthy at that. Or else how do we propose to mitigate poverty, build infrastructure or develop technology?
But mind you it is by no means a dilettante’s job. It is like art, better your imagination more attractive the picture. “Innovation”, the cornerstone of burgeoning business is nothing but a flight of imagination. In this fast paced world, one who has vision for the SEEN and the UNSEEN is the one who emerges victorious. Going up on the podium to receive “Entrepreneur of the Year” award is a dream most youths see while entering trade and industry. It is a very inspiring dream to begin with. The unconscious dreams that we spin while asleep may have Freudian Interpretation but the conscious dreams like this one need conscious energy and effort to come true. Detailing the colour of your suit or wording your thank you speech for the award ceremony is a very gainful visualization. Do not consider it like building castles in the air. This is the gas station where the MIND fuels the body for the journey ahead. But before your name is announced for the award, there will be challenges, fears and uncertainty to cow you down. Self-doubt is the biggest and the worst challenge with most of us. Why should you doubt your own capability? This is the most pitiable and self-justifying excuse you give to run from the task. “I may not be able to do it” implies “I do not want to do it” because there is absolutely nothing that you are incapable of doing at the command of your mind.
There is no way to lose in the game, because once your mind is fearless and determined you will either reach your destination or go higher. Don’t we know how Columbus set out to reach but discovered? In an investor’s jargon it simply means, “A fundamentally strong mind will not sell your dreams short”. There is another fact to understand. Do not expect absence of challenges because that is not part of the plan. Since we have the most sophisticated machinery with unlimited capacity (i.e. MIND), challenges should not be much of a problem to handle. Moreover, a timorous man shying from his fears and skeptic about his ability would not make an impressive “Entrepreneur of the Year”. This is part of the game that while you are on the way to realize your dreams, the on-road hurdles make you strong and savvy to deliver a cogent and influential speech on the dais when receiving the award. When we say that businesses succeed with the vision of the SEEN and UNSEEN, there are lots of interpretations about it. The foremost Seen vision is to have a dream and the Unseen is to look for the opportunities to fulfill it. The next seen vision is to choose a product line or service you think will be productive and profitable enough and the Unseen is to let your imagination afloat to innovate the chosen product because product differentiation is a vital tool in launching yourself.
The cardinal Seen Vision is abundance and success, the Unseen is the unknown challenges and twists. The mind is the key player in optimizing the UNSEEN vision. Wealth creation is possible only when the known and the unknown, the SEEN and the UNSEEN can be balanced together. And the mind is amazingly capable of achieving the winning amalgam. Also our Self has a SEEN body and an UNSEEN spirit. The objective of wealth creation gratifies the Seen Body. But the Unseen Spirit has its own longing. It desires for a sense of serenity, time for quiet contemplation and some time to indulge in leisurely delights. An incessant concentration of material abundance will only content the SEEN part of your existence ultimately leading to the soul’s collapse. And if the soul breaks down, all pursuit of wealth and reward will go null and void.
Even wealth creation will be a more enthusiastic and pleasant task if you gratify your body and soul equally. The mind is again of prime importance. It is just like your broker who strikes a winning deal for both his parties, satisfying them simultaneously. Now that mind is an indispensable link, it will surely pay rich dividends by investing rightly in it. A wise investor always asks three fundamental questions before parking his money anywhere viz.
where to invest, how much to invest and when to invest. Correct answers to these questions are valuable for windfall gains but the answers keep changing with market conditions. But in relation to mind, these questions have a constant answer to reap a fortune. The answer being, “Invest heavily in positive thoughts in all trends for long term”. Your mind is a blue chip company, invest POSITIVELY in it and your market value will keep escalating. Let it create equilibrium of all SEEN and UNSEEN to make you build a colossal castle on land.
You own a blue chip establishment (MIND) already, so setting up another one and receiving “Entrepreneur of the Year” award for it is not tough proposition.
