I had no doubts that my desire WILL come true, and I started working towards my sincere objective. A friend who noticed my work towards that objective asked me: “Why are you so obsessed with money? It’s not most important thing in our lives” etc. etc. etc.

WOW... my mind paused for a moment and started thinking. If you get same kind of moral disturbing objections, look at what my mind came up with that will help you stand still in front of those objections...

In most societies, we are raised to believe in myth that “it’s spiritual to be poor”. Or we use such phrases as “filthy rich”, or “Money is root of all evil”. Our TV and movies present big businesses as “bad guys”, and programs our minds to believe that being rich is “bad”.

So when I was asked that disturbing question: “Why are you obsessed with money?” I asked myself: “What am I really obsessed about? What are we all obsessed about?” So I remembered...

I remembered I was working for this Hi-Tech company, ten to twelve hours a day. Even though pay was good, it has exhausted me mentally and physically. I remembered that my cause was to have real control over my own time, to spend it with my beloved ones, on things that really matters, instead of working hard all of my life. And...

I remembered that I love sports cars (just to mention it my eyes are glowing right now!) and I wanted to have that car that I adore (Oh yes, it’s 911 Porsche!). I remembered that I wanted to travel world, and simply have fun...

Dreams Aren’t Enough As important as dreams are, they aren’t enough. Why? Dreams don’t take you where you want to go. A dream needs wings – to become a tangible vision – a passion that will take you where you REALLY want to be. Bethany Hamilton lives in Hawaii – her passion is surfing – her dream is to become a professional surfer. She spends every available minute in water, even home-schooling so she can have more time to pursue her vision. At 8 years of age she entered her first major competition taking division championships that year. Bethany’s dream had become her passion – a tangible vision.

When Your Vision Is Attacked Bethany’s vision was viciously attacked on Halloween morning, 2003, when she was 13 years old. Bethany was lying on her board -- left arm dangling in cool water. She remembers a flash of gray, pressure, and a couple fast tugs. She also remembers watching jaws of a 15-foot tiger shark cover top of her board and her left arm. The shark was gone as fast as it appeared. So was her arm.
