Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 [synergy Healing] Lessons from a Rich but Humble Man – Warren Buffet Folks, have you noticed whenever you are considering some issue in your own life, lo and behold, there is a movie or a book or a TV show or something that shows up – which’ll often have a resonance for you. It may show you aspects of yourself reflected in another person, or it may have information that you need at this time which may support you to move ahead in your issue, project, etc. I’ve coined a name for this kind of healing method – it is a true Godsend, no doubt – I call it Synergy Healing. Some time ago, I was thinking about the flow of money, and how well it has flowed in my life at some times and not at others, and wondering where the difference lay, what was I doing that was different in each scenario, this TV show popped into my life – about an interview with the second richest man in the world, Warren Buffet. This morning, someone forwarded me this review of an interview with him….which I am forwarding to the BeAwesome newsletter/ezine as many of the people signed up on our groups often have stress due to finances, and it may help to learn a little from someone who doesn’t have those kinds of stresses, and who has overcome the obvious survival struggles some are facing today. More than his richness, what I liked so much about him was that he was so humble, and how much he valued people, and gave the person who he was with his full undivided attention. In that respect he reminds me of another great person I have had the privilege of knowing that is Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, the author of “Empowering Your Soul Through Meditation” – the combination of his humility and also his undivided attention to you and your problems when you have a personal interview with him – these are so amazing to experience, and they are the mark of a truly great individual, I feel. So, rather than financial tips, I think one can learn behavioral tips from people like this – people who have achieved much and accomplished much in their lives – people who not only give to the world - of their reservoir of their wealth - but truly give of themselves. I learned a lot that day. I’m sure you will gain much from this information below too, and if you get a chance to see the interview on TV, watch it, you might enjoy it!
