Chasing Fame and Wealth

In Eastern teaching, there are several mistresses. One being Fame and Wealth, another Wisdom and Knowledge.

Fame and wealth are troublesome, temperamental, and changeable. Like a fluttering butterfly, fame and wealth don't stop any one place for long. And when we chase fame and wealth it repels or disturbs her.

But to develop knowledge and wisdom, builds a strong foundation for fame and wealth to feel safe and protected enough to land.

So, in our steps toward success, it becomes a bigger and more powerful part of the puzzle to design time and efforts building knowledge and wisdom. That allows us to become of the world but not a victim to the world and its ever changing environment.

"The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself."
