I would like to share my life's learning & experience through this blog with a small comparison of driving a luxury car. Let's assume we wish to drive a luxury car to get the pleasure and comfort of travelling from one place to another. In order to achieve this, we first need to have the financial knowledge.
Only then we will understand the power of saving, investing and compounding wealth. Once we get this financial knowledge and generate decent money without debt, we will own the car we wish to drive. Let's not get into the topic of asset and liability. Some may argue owning a luxury car is a liability. Let's not get into that. Our purpose here is to own a luxury car and have a pleasant and comfortable ride.
Once we own that beautiful and comfortable car. Without learning how to drive we will not be able to actually drive the car. We will only be able to clean and wash the car daily. So, the second important thing is to learn the process. Here, we need to learn how to drive the car. OK, now we own the vehicle and we learned how to drive the vehicle. Third, without fuel we will not be able to drive the car. Experience is like fuel. We need to gain experience to drive the car comfortably. Our hands and legs should operate in an auto pilot mode while driving to enjoy the ride. This can be achieved with experience.
Now, we have the financial knowledge, learning and experience. This is like we own the car, we learned how to drive and we got the fuel filled. Without a proper road, where will we drive the car ?. So, the road is nothing but spirituality or spiritual knowledge. This will keep us away from greed and help us to have a smooth drive. For example, when we have a luxury car, we will try to ride that at high speed. This thinking or action can be avoided when we have the spiritual knowledge. Spirituality has the power to kill the greed and fear. Spirituality will help us to keep ourself calm all the time when practiced appropriately.
So, the 4 important things to maintain and practice in our life to have a smooth ride are Acquiring Financial Knowledge, Continuous Learning, Gaining Experience and Understanding Spirituality.
Have a Great Day
