The True Wolf of Wall
Street #thewolfofwallst #leodicaprio #hilljonah
After seeing the movie, The Wolf of Wall Street,
my mind returned to a time when I worked on Wall Street in the 80s. I worked
for a large, worldwide bank in the stocks division. We ran a hedge fund that
was based on “baskets” of stock from different countries, as part of a
diversifying effort for investors. Most of the time that I worked there, the
company was trying to find its footing or losing money, so the atmosphere was
always tense. Twice, while there, guys had heart attacks right in the office. I
vowed, then, that I wouldn’t go into that frenzy with my mind or my money.
As I look back on the days, though, instead of taking
suggestions from a know-it-all in the dressing room at the YMCA, I could have
grabbed some Yahoo or Google for the initial asking price, which was around
$1.50 for each, if I remember correctly. Well, I’m not sure how sucked into the
tumult I would have become had I saw $500 turn into $50,000 in a couple years,
but I try not to look back with defeat.
I have invested in many things, sometimes, even stocks,
but the biggest investment in life has been with friendships and relationships.
I wonder if giving your time and energy to friends and intimate partners is
just as risky or even riskier than the stock market. If there were a large,
African American congregations around me, I’d be saying, “Do I hear an Amen?”
‘Cause it’s damn true.
Caroline Myss wrote a couple books comparing our own
energy systems in the body to investing money in the market. Basically, she
says that each of us has 100% energy to invest every day. We try to balance
where we invest this energy. 50% goes to the job. 20% goes to relationship. 30%
goes to our children. Oops, that’s all I have left. There isn’t any more energy
to invest in myself! Sorry, Charlie.
You, also, have people who invest more than they have—sort
of like on personal credit. You give 65% to the job, 20% to your husband, 15%
to studying, and another 25% to the children. Wow, that’s investing 125%. So,
where does the other 25% of energy come from?
Good question! Caroline says it comes from the weakest
energy system or chakra in your body.
So, for the guys on Wall Street who had the heart attacks, it came from the
heart chakra; therefore, depleting them of the energy they needed for their
hearts to tick!
If you are having trouble in a bad relationship, your
energy may get zapped from the second chakra, which is the digestive system,
lower back, below the navel, and sexuality. Sometimes, you can see when people
are giving too much to this chakra, because they gain weight, hoping they can
feed the lack of energy with food. However, that doesn’t work when you see a
loss of vital energy. So, you can begin to define the paradigm here for
yourself. When you invest more than you have, you cause a depletion of vital
and spiritual energy in your own body, which then can result—and often does—in
sickness and disease.
So, go back to the drawing table and figure out how much
energy you can dole out to the different areas of your life. Then, make all of
it add up to 100%. If it goes over the 100% mark, then you are liable to be
cheating your body of vital energy and end up sick and debilitated.
So, the true Wolf of Wall Street is that dark part of our
own minds that wants more, needs more, and will borrow from even our bodies
because of greed and desire. Don’t be that person, today! Change your mind,
Change your body!
