Money, money, money...

Lyrics of the famous Swedish band’s tune is known to millions of people. .. ABBA is associated with beats of night clubs, old LP players and cassette tapes radios for many. But today’s hottest topic: money isn’t linked to the cheerful music of legendary band…
I have recently talked to friend of mine through one of frequently used IM service, who lives in the other part o the world…
“How are you?”, I have asked him.
He said: “What a silly question, how can I be in today’s situation? Of course I am not ok…”
I asked: “Why? What so, horrible happened to you?”
He replied with exclamation in his virtual response through IM messenger: “Oh, my God, you don’t know what happened in the world?!!Didn’t you hear about financial crisis?!!”
“Well I did, but can you tell me how does it stop you from enjoying your days?”, I have continued.
“Situation is very bad, real estate market is down, stock market is down…”
“Yes, that I know, but still how does it affect you? How does it stop you to live your days to the fulliest?”
“ Oh, you don’t understand anything, I have lost 80% of my savings…How am I supposed to live?”

I thought a lot about my friend, it was pointless to get deeper in this conversation at that time, it would be like adding oil to the fire…
So, I have decided to write down, what I wanted to tell him, but couldn’t overcome his refusing mood, touched by anxiety and offensiveness….
Yes, world is struggling with financial crisis, and market’s crash…But do we also have to take it as our struggle…? Will it help anyone, if we will be worried and in bad frame of mind? Will it ease the tensions?
Instead, of enjoying everyday’s sunrise, living days in truth, serving our best, sharing our gifts with those we love and care about….we are constantly worried and it is distracting ourselves from the things which
make sense…
I have read somewhere, that: True man will remain, when he gives up all possession and positions….
So, why to worry, whether I have lost some money? What goes around, comes around…isn’t it always like that? If the essence, the real purpose’s of man is sincere and coming out from the heart, money and assets cannot decrease net value of one’s mission …don’t chase money, they will follow you…

Living in Truth, My Life's Purpose

Humility, acceptance and silence seem to work most of the time. So, I should better live my purpose, act accordingly and master my deepest purpose. Not to “yap” about it.Yes, more you know, more you realise how much you don’t know. Which will keep you very much with your feet on the ground, or even put you down on your knees.

So, why I am writing this document, then? There are many things, which one cannot express by words. And those who, understand, never ask. They just can read it from the sparks in the eyes, the way I look at the world, how I treat people, and how I value relationships.
What I trust is universe, I have my eyes and heart opened. Patience always helps to go through difficult ups and downs. Listening to inner voice, and balancing emotions within me, while putting them into action, is very difficult lifelong challenge.

There are no right or wrong choices, just different results.
And as Einstein said: “Insane are those, who expect different results by doing everything the same way.”

Serving my best is the only way, how I want to lead my life.
Give the best out of me to the world. Leave long term impact on people’s lives. Even tough I cannot be responsible for anyone’s choices or actions, except mine. Raising expectations are giving birth to disappointments. But I am ready to face all the obstacles on my journey. I have the warrior’s spirit and I will fight without fear to the last breath, if I cannot serve my best and follow my path, if I cannot be present.
Is there any other sense of being, then?
Living in lies, in “wasteland”, according senseless rules, absent of fundamentals, so essential to me. NO! Not me.

Which are those essential fundamentals for me?
Let me try to note down, some of them:
• Honesty and sincerity, living with heart.
• Character and core values, which cannot be suppressed by short term monetary possessions.
• Refusing “Copy – paste lifestyle”...and following fake idols created by system and society.
• Treating all people with the great respect, regardless to status, age, or race etc.
• Being aware of own fears, but not letting them to kill the mind and spirit in me.
• Not missing importance of “accidental coincidences in life”.
• Being grateful.
• Listening twice as much than talking.
• Being always me and authentic.
• Being nice and gentle to myself. (don’t expect others to do so, if you are careless about your own life, health, emotions...)
• Respecting elders, having great love for my family.

Nothing is fixed...We are all connected...All is energy. As, Joseph Jaworski called it in his extraordinary book Synchronicity: “Oneness.”
