A MILLION DOLLARS' WORTH A QUESTION

Its been a long time that i have not written here. So what happened? had i stopped learning things? no. its just that there was little i could show in from what i was learning.
but from an absolutely unexpected corner came my learning.. FACEBOOK!! ( and you thought it was just time pass huh? )

statutory warning : the following might seem a little wierd.

I was taking a quiz on fb for the umpteenth time. and there was a question on the quiz-
WHAT IF YOU HAD A MILLION DOLLARS?
a)
b)
c)
d)

i do not know what you guys do when you come across such a question. i decided to give it real thinking. and you knwo what? i was BLANK!. POINT BLANK. Think! - told myself. and then i realized that if i were to have say- 4 or 5k i would probably think
of spending it on parties and movies and clothes and so on. but given a MILLION dollars. i would be very responsible with them . you see that is an amount which is inconcievable to a middle class girl like me. if you would ask my brother he would have man grand ideas about them. I am the kind of person who does not much even dream of lavishness.
i clicked an answer in fb. but that was not an important thing. the important thing was that my mind went racing. i realized that if i had so much money i would be living my life far more responsibly than if i did not have money. ( think this is wierd ? the wierd part has not even BEGUN people :P). i realized i would learn more about money. i would do things that would
basically make me a very competent person in life to deserve to haold that kind of money.
all this seemed higly contradictory to me.
and then i understood one more factor. ALL OUR LIVES I WAS GOING LIVE WAITING TO MAKE MORE MONEY THAN I ALREADY DO. when I can make my lives better RIGHT NOW. by living that life. living responsibly. investing in MYSELF( we are our graeatest assets you see .. :) )

i wanted to live like i already owned a million dollars! ( THIS is what i was talkin about)

but you know there is a book called THE SECRET. in that book basically what is written is that we attract what we expect to be true. so in the money chapter it is written. that if you keep thinking that ' i dont have any money. what to do? i wish i had more money."---- whatis going to happen is that your mind will keep registering that you dont have money and you will attract that from the universe around you. you will remain poor.i had left reading the book at this point. i did not know how i could tell myself i had a lot of money when i ACTUALLY didnt!

This little experience however gave me a whole new perspective to what that book said. you see it has often been said - that only people who think like millionaires become millionaires and remain so. if you want to be a millionaire you will have to take hi shoes and sit in them all the time. think like one. live the life of one. take risks like one.

perhaps you do not want to be a millionaire. and there is a difference between wanting and wishing here. if i may clarify. you might wish to be a millionaire. but do you WANT to be one? if you WANT something you are willing to go the extra mile for it. if you wish soemthing. you sit in a chair or lie in your bed .. fantasiize about it .. wake up next morning and do nothing about it the whole day until night comes again and you repeat your exercise.
so whatever you want to be. BE THAT NOW> and you will come closer to it.

hope it now makes sense. :)
