The Right Mindset for Abundance

One of my best mentors in being truly rich and financial freedom is no other than the best motivational preacher - Bro. Bo Sanchez. Here's one powerful anecdote he shared on what should be the right mindset for abundance:

One morning, an Angel appears in front of you. 

And the Angel says, “I’ll give you a gift. You have a choice.” The Angel hands over a scroll to you.

With trembling fingers, you open it. On the parchment, you read the following text…

Please Choose One Gift

Gift 1: Ten million pesos will appear on your lap right now.

Or…

Gift 2: You’ll learn how to earn money. On the first two years, you earn nothing. Zero. But on your third year of learning, you earn P100,000. After that, your profit increases by 20% every year.

Now tell me, what would you choose?

Believe me, it’s so tempting to choose Gift 1.

Because you can buy whatever you want.

P10M is so much more than P100,000.

But don’t be deceived.

Gift 1 is cold cash. Nothing else.

Gift 2 is wisdom, character growth, skill development, increased self-esteem, strong relationships, and yes, money too. (Let’s do the Math: If you chose Gift 2, thirty years later, you’ll be earning P23M a year. Not a bad choice, right?)

Gift 1 (P10M) can disappear in a few years. Not only that, but money without wisdom is toxic. It can kill people and break-up families.

Gift 2 will last your entire lifetime.

So friend, its easy and simple - always chose wisdom rather than money.

Remember, money is temporary - fleeting. While wisdom stays with you forever.
