Be the bank and not the banker in personal growth


When it comes to money, many people will say that the rich create money and often play the role of a banker and then deep down we will find there is a difference between being rich and being wealth. Being wealth means the number of days you can survive without physically working and still maintain your standard of living.
Ultimately being wealth does not mean the much money you can make, but how much money you keep and how long that money works for you. Many people think when they are rich for earning a lot of money that is it. And yet you will find all their money go to their expenses and that is the relationship they can create because they are a banker rather than being the bank.
Why am I relating the above to the personal growth, for you to choose to be a bank rather being the bank is because major the banker is an employee of the bank and he only interested with the pay checks rather than what is happening around the bank as a whole not a section of where he is working i.e. a cashier is to receive/give money. And many instances many people think that when you work for the bank you will never go broke and you always have money because you are accessible to it but it is irony that many of the bankers are the most broke people you will find( I mean some).
In the personal growth there is like hood that some people are playing the role of the banker rather than the bank because they are always with money but they are also always broke. Many people cry that the world is unfair, am unlucky, am not privileged and so on and yet they walk with the bank which is the mind and are accessible to it any time. But with the right channel because it doesn't mean when you work for the bank you will take the money as you want you will be in jail in the next minute don't try but you can use the right procedure and get the much money you want. Because many banks provide many privileges to its employees which others are not.
Why don't we become a bank ourselves in the personal industry. Probably the main reason though is that the mind is not trained to play the role of the bank and this one you must pay a due. They get drawn in by the lure of earning income but they don't have the skills to deliver on the services side. Getting an income is a nice thing but this shouldn't be the primary motivation. What will you do if you have all the money ? wait for death? Income is a means to an end, but what is the end you are after. Being a bank means there is a flow cash meaning money going out and money coming in but a banker is only interested with the cash coming in but even though they give a service.
To be wealthy, a bank and the rest we must learn on how to build momentum and pay the price and develop your skills. I know it is hard to be patient, but your earlier skill building work can pay off massively down the road not just for yourself but for all the people you will eventually help.
Every field has a core set of basic structure to follow. And if you commit to master of those structure over a period of years you will probably do very well in the growth. And if you try to shortcut and say is better to be the banker rather than the bank because a bank takes to time to grow then get used to disappointment. Just understand that at the long end the benefit are great. Work on your growth passionately and enjoy along the way.
When you start something it is like planting a seed. You may have to water it for a while before you see any results. But eventually you get a nice harvest that makes it all worthwhile since energy flows where attention goes.
Many people think it is a long time to be what you want to be. You might think twenty years is a long time but it doesn't matter. That time is going to pass no matter what you do. It is inevitable that you will find yourself there someday. When that day arrives you will either have grown personally or you wont. It is up to you to decide which path you will take. And if you don't consciously commit to the path of growing you settle for stagnation by default. Please don't allow that for yourself. Choose today and start now
