Which is the most important asset of your life? (QandA : 005)

Question 005 : Which is the most important asset of your life?
The most important asset of your life is nothing that relates to money. It is not your house, your vehicle, your gadget, your job or anything else that money can buy.  It is not even your family, though you may be desperately attached to them.
The most important asset of your life is something that is available in limited quantity for everyone. God did not distinguish rich or poor, white or black, men or women when it distributed this asset equally among its creation.

Answer 005 :
"Time" happens to be your biggest asset of life. Once you have taken care of your basic financial needs, time plays a pivotal role in every aspect of your life. You would need time to nurture your relationship with yourself and your family members, exploring your interest, hobbies and passion, going up higher in your own spiritual ladder or even creating an impact on your society.

Money is definitely important to meet your basic needs, but time will strengthen what you already have. 
Beyond meeting our basic needs, there are only three factors that drive us towards earning more money, even it means trading off your biggest asset (time).
1) Ignorance of how much is enough to meet your present and future needs.
2) The greed to earn money, primarily driven by the misconception that more money would mean more happiness.
3) Simply following what others around us do, assuming that the path that everyone follows ought to be correct, and the only way out.

Knowing how much is enough for you and your family needs, preparing a financial plan for yourself, and approaching financial freedom is one of the keys to lead a happy, peaceful and successful life.
With time in your hands, you will open up to unlimited possibilities in life, once you are financially free. Your mind will start thinking extra ordinary things, and life will never be the same again.
Imagine for a moment that all you current and future family needs are taken care of. And your workplace will not pay you anything for the work you do.

- Would you still go to your workplace? or would you rather sit in a park and read a book?
- Would you still be running from one meeting to another? or play with your children?
- Would you still be worried about your next promotion? or rather positively influence someone else's life?
- Would you still ignore your environment because of lack of time? or rather help give a better color to this planet?
- Would you be worried about your next project? or participate along with your children in their next school project?
- Would you create that damn report? or would you help your life partner in her household chores?
- Would you debate on the work crisis? or would you help your parents overcome the old age crisis?

Think about it long enough...because initially when you start thinking, your mind will not be able to present you with many options. It is not used to thinking positively. It is not used to think life. It is still a slave in a comfortable zone, and it has been a slave for many generations. It will need some effort to pull it out of the slave mentality.
