JOB IS A SHORT-TERM SOLUTION TO A LONG-TERM PROBLEM

 Be an observer, not a reactor, to your emotions.

Most people do not know that it's their emotions that are doing the thinking. Your emotions are your emotions, but you have got to learn to do your own thinking.

As an example  "When a person says, `I need to find a job,' it's most likely an emotion doing the thinking. Fear of not having money generates that thought."

But if you think "people do need money if they have bills to pay," so sure they do.

All I'm saying is that it's fear that is all too often doing the thinking.

If the fear of not having enough money arises, instead of immediately running out to get a job so they can earn a few rupees to kill the fear, they instead might ask themselves this question. `Will a job be the best solution to this fear over the long run?' In my opinion, the answer is `no.' Especially when you look over a person's lifetime.

The power of money

 We're all employees ultimately. We just work at different levels and I just want you to have a chance to avoid the trap.The trap caused by those two emotions, fear and desire. Use them in your favor, not against you.I'm not interested in just teaching you to make a pile of money.That wouldn't handle the fear or desire.If you don't first handle fear and desire, and you get rich, you'll only be a high paid slave.

So how can we avoid the trap?

The main cause of poverty or financial struggle is fear and ignorance, not the economy or the government or the rich. It's self inflicted fear and ignorance that keeps people trapped.

 It's just like the picture of a donkey, dragging a cart, with its owner dangling a carrot just in front of the donkey's nose. The donkey's owner may be going where he wants to go, but the donkey is chasing an illusion. Tomorrow there will only be another carrot for the donkey.

What intensifies fear and desire is ignorance. That is why rich people with lots of money often have more fear the richer they get. Money is the carrot, the illusion. If the donkey could see the whole picture, it might rethink its choice to chase the carrot.

 To spend your life living in fear, never exploring your dreams, is cruel.

 Thinking that a job will make you feel secure is lying to yourself. That's cruel, and that's the trap I want you to avoid, if possible. I've seen how money runs people's lives. Don't let that happen to you. Please don't let money run your life.
