7 Ways to Invest Life like a Zen

7 Ways to Invest Life like a Zen

Investing is always like a Mantra. It focuses for a Long term in a silent way. I am not talking about the Speculation or a Short term, but for the Long term with a sip of Water. We know how the Buddha and Billgates created the Tremendous Empire. As they had a different goals to consider, but they had a life as a Zen. The Master Shunryu Suzuki said,

Zen is not some kind of excitement, but concentration on our usual everyday routine. 

For a Long term Investor too, there are few ways to invest his life like a habit of Zen.

1. Invest Regularly and Stick to Fit:
   The most basic of Zen thought tells 'Work your day with little things and without any connection. You may walk alone for five minutes a day, Helping others what you have, Learn a language daily for 10 minutes or save Rs. 10/- daily for your kid - This is the way, how Buddha and Billgates grown on their Duty. So, Invest Regularly with any amount, but stick to it (Fit).


2. Love the Investing:
   Always taste the richness what you had. If you fail on some thing, Love and Learn it. Smell the taste of your food, but not just eating out. If you are a regular tooth brusher with a right hand, try now with your left hand also. Market Crash and Interest Rates decline are the normal aspect of Investing. Just love, it will keep you Rich.


3. Financial Goal for what would you need (Need and Desire):  Do it yourself (DIY) and Do what you like. Prepare a goal and work for it 30 minutes daily. If you are not satisfied with your current job or not liking the environment around you ? Just forget it, do what you really like or need. Focus yourself, to make changes.


4. Long Term Investment and Worry free of Volatile: Life is not a Permanent, even look for the long term investment. So, we can protect from the Volatile. Every day is not a same day and we have ups and downs. If restricted on anything, just Introspect yourself and remove the obstacles. Live in a Present and forget about what you had in the past. As, we saying that the life is not a permanent. Enjoy Yourself !


5. Concentrated and Delayed Gratification:
    Do one thing at a time and make it a habit. Don't rush for the Multi-tasking. If you have a work, do it with concentration of 20-30 minutes. Try it yourself and feel the concentration. If you are going to clean the room - Just clean it, but not with watching TV too. If you are looking to invest in stocks, then valuate the stock with financial statements. But don't confuse with the others like speculative. Delayed concentration is a big thing for Investor's appreciation in the long term. So, be concentrated and work slowly.


6. Achievable Financial Goals: Proud yourself. Nature gives us a marvelous structure and life with peace. No need to waste it. The Nature protects everyone, even we are killing the Air and water. So, take a financial goal and must achievable. Don't worry about the Market or others' Returns, See your portfolio returns with your Goals.


7. Invest in What you know:
    Be Lazy; Don't take all things in your head. Say, 'No' and Do what you know. If you are not aware of anything, Learn it and then implement. Again be lazy, but wake up early in the morning. Because, you are going to love yourself. Invest your money and life in what you know and learnt.
