I am fond of good motivational and guiding books, and as such, despite my busiest schedule, I always have ample time to read many such books, and of course, through them, I constantly keep learning.
Today, people often understand the investment in real estate, gold, stock market, business, trading etc. are the most profitable investments but I am sure that life’s most valuable investment is the guidebooks of positive mental attitude that may change the process of our thinking.
Not only this but the Investments on such books is the cheapest investment against the highest returns which is never possible in any other investment. If the truth is told, this investment is similar to scattering a handful of grains in a large field which turn into a blistering crop when their internal processes are completed. But merely read the book only is not enough at all.
It is also necessary to take off the life principles given in those books and to apply them in life positively. In fact, this understanding and application is called the internal processes of a handful of grains when we use this law on ourselves through such books. I have read many such books saying –”If we do not change attitudes and actions, we cannot even change our results. If we want the changed results, the first condition is to change ourselves.”
The most valuable investment is the expenditure on self-worth, ability, self-confidence, self-esteem and increased acceptance in society. It is an essential investment that increases your income; respect and popularity in multiple forms. If you are already investing on these essential items, it is positive information, and if you have not taken this thing seriously till day, then you can accept the value of this book as your first installment in this valuable and most precious and essential investment.
Be sure, if you study this book from the beginning to the end, you will find that you have not spent the price of this book worthlessly, but with this small amount you have acquired an everlasting treasure which can establish you at the height of success if you seriously connect to it and convert the principles of money as your habits.
The principle of reason and outcome works in our actions and thinking for our success or failure. The cause and result are correlated tightly. If we want to change results, then we have to change our reasons first.
We must reconsider once again about our notion of the comfort zone. Whatever we take as our comfort zone, we should understand seriously as to whether the same is a comfort zone really or we are leading to a state of more difficulties, miseries, and insecurities? Once we must see our current status as a neutral witness.
‘Neutral Witness’ (Sakshi Bhav) is a valuable idea, and when this qualification comes into you, this vision can separate you from your current situation and show you the reality. If you are traveling on a crooked path, your vision will be limited up to the next turning on ground, you will have only a limited vision and will not be able to see all the turns, curves, ups and downs to come in your way but if someone is watching you walking from the sky, he will be able to know every turn, every curve and every obstacle of your way that you do not see.
If we can come out of ourselves and observe ourselves from a distance, the possibility of acceptance and improvement can reach up to the highest level. This is subject to hard exercise, and you may take some time to achieve this ability, but at least, we can decide right now as to whether you will like to have it or not. If you are not ready to do it, it means that you are preparing for an average life. Numerous persons have gone after passing such ordinary life in our world in the past but our present does not recognize them.
Try to understand : If we are not ready to come out of our comfort zone at present, if we do not accept the rule of change, and if we do not consider this life given by God as the most valuable gift of God to us, it is certain that we too will be nowhere in the world – neither before nor after our death.
The indication is clear – the changed future is possible only on the foundation of the changed present.
