Don't Joke with the Process.
Ok, just yesterday I talked about focusing on the process instead of the output/result. I bet a lot of you must have gone through the post but if you have not, please follow the link below to read the post. (The Hidden Secret of Money). Let me welcome you back after that short break from visiting the previous post. One good thing about life and mother nature is that she has a way of making things fall into place at the right time. You must have had an experience where you thought all hope was lost only for mother nature to surprise you with solutions. There are times when you will be looking for something in the house and you would have searched thoroughly around the house for it, surprisingly when your mind has gone off the whole search you will stumble upon what you have been looking for in most uncommon places. That has always been mother nature playing her role.
In my yesterday's post, I talked about the world's wealthy men and I also made a connection between them and process. All of these wealthy people have one small thing in common and that was what I talked about yesterday. After making my post, I had to go arrange some food for myself because I was at home not by my making but because of the agitation going on in my country. Well, it's still a story I will tell us when the right time comes. As I finished eating, I decide to make a stop at my WhatsApp just to clear some of the numerous messages in my notification. That was when mother nature decide to affirm my post. It was truly magical and it is only a mind that feeds on deep thought and critical thinking that will understand it all.
The Revelation.
One of the greatest challenges we are facing today in our world is; impatience. Everybody wants to get rich instantly and this has become rampant among the youths. No one wants to follow through with any due process or allow diligence and consistency to lead them to success. Short cuts and quick money-making schemes are now being advertised over all the social media handles without the exclusion of Television Stations and Newspapers. It is quite a pitiable situation because we are already teaching the next generation the habit of believing in quick and easy money. You will always know how a man acquired his money by the way he spends it.
A man who acquired money by following the process of patience, diligence, hard work and long-suffering will not be seen throwing money up and down just like we see today. One good instance, you must have heard that Jeff Bezos travelled to space and came back even though it was a short trip, but you could understand that he channelled his wealth to something that will benefit him by adding his name to the history book of those who have travelled to space. Contrary to what we see from the younger generation who never passed through the process, hard work, diligence and long-suffering to acquire the little money they are throwing around.
These young men will walk into a club and spend thousands and millions of dollars over drinks, women and drugs. They live this lifestyle because they did not truly pass through the process of growing money. Just like a plant, money is planted, watered and allowed to grow in good condition. But these young men bumped into money suddenly which made them lose themselves because they believe that more money will come. As I was going through WhatsApp status yesterday, mother nature opened my eyes to a great revelation and I said that I must share it with you all today.
Mother Nature Spoke to me.
Take a careful look at the video below. Please don't blink while watching the video so that you don't miss a thing.
Did you truly watch the video? If you did not, I must plead with you to go back to it and watch because you may be missing the revelation from mother nature.
One thing you must have seen in the video above is that the names were moving up and down meaning that no one was permanent at the top. But let me shock you if you had paid attention to the video carefully, you would have noticed something. From the first year up to 2015 in the video, Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk were nowhere to be found. As soon as the year 2016 emerged, Jeff Bezos surfaced and by 2020, Elon Musk took over the chart. The question is; where were they before 2016 and 2020 respectively? It was not stated that they were on the streets or seating in their houses enjoying the little money they have made before then. These men took their time to grow and nurture their wealth to the level it is now.
The lesson we must learn from them is that any money gotten must be used to produce more money otherwise financial freedom will never be achieved. Don't go on a spending spree because you saw a little number of dollars in your account. Be wise, follow the process, grow and nurture your wealth today and see how beautiful your tomorrow will become.
