Wishing for Affluence..

I am human - and since i am a normal human being there are those moments in life when something happens - a Benz or BMW zooms past , i see one of the most good looking heroines looking like that forever, some beautiful jewellery that is beyond my means and many more such insignificant incidents that actually scream out "It's Money Honey!!!" and make me wish i were richer, followed by a pang of guilt which comes after the momentary dreamy state.

These moments happen to every human being i guess. The times when u wish that something magical happens and life transforms into a totally new world. The current constraints seize to exist and there is new found freedom.

The reason why we probably wish for such miracles is because we actually wish to be free from limitations. The human mind seeks liberation. We have created these boundaries ourselves. To have a working couple automatically translates into having more loan taking and repaying capacity. We have lost the basic wisdom of "A penny saved is a penny earned".

Today something happened that made me wish for affluence and i felt truly justified wishing for it. A friend of mine and her husband have been running an NGO for about 10+ years now and after seeing the purpose of it i found a purpose for myself. For once i wished with all my heart that i am affluent enough to be able to help this organization with much more than what i am currently capable of.

And somehow while wishing for wealth at that moment i felt more happy than guilty. I felt liberated rather than limited while wishing for affluence to help this cause. This in itself was a big eyeopener for me.

Take a look at the site that i am mentioning : http://www.seed.org.in/
Spend some time on this site, and lend a hand if you feel like. There is no compulsion but i thought i could share the purpose of my feeling purposeful in life :) and it might help some else find a valid reason to "Wish for Affluence and Abundance".
