“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”~ Jim Rohn


                   
                   
                   
          
            A miser had accumulated five hundred thousand dinars and looked forward to a year of pleasant living; before he made up his mind how best to invest his money, when suddenly the Angel of Death appeared before him to take his life away.


         The man begged and pleaded and used a thousand arguments to be allowed to live a little longer,but the angel was obdurate. 


       "Give me three days of life and I shall give you half my fortune," the man pleaded. The angel wouldn't hear of it and began to tug at him.


     "Give me just one day, I beg of you, and you can have everything I accumulated through so much sweat and toil."


       The angel was adamant still.


   He was able to wring just one little concession from the angel;a few moments in which to write down this note:
      
       "Oh you, whoever you are that happen to find this note, if you have enough to live on, don't waste your life accumulating fortunes. Live!


        My five hundred thousand dinars could not buy me a single hour of life!"


~ Anthony de Mello




P.S: Amassing wealth while choosing to do  something that one is passionate about /happy doing is wonderful. 
It is when one becomes obsessive  about making and hoarding money...... when nothing else seems to  matter at all........that one is likely to end up where the miser in the story did.
May we choose to live abundant lives;being grateful for life's countless blessings........ especially those that cannot be bought.
Namaste,
Bhagya
