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…
