Another form of wealth...

Its common to associate wealth with material items and quantity of things we possess. My professional advice generally relates to this sort of wealth management. But today I'd like to share a thought about another kind of wealth - the wealth of a true friendship!

Like material wealth this sort of wealth also requires "management" and "protection" and best if "distributed" to especially those we care. But it has great impact if shared with those we don't know too!

Sadly it also often taken for granted and easily neglected. It possesses exponential growth potential and its affect is highly contagious if managed with great care and sincerity. Its benchmark is often the degree of happy feelings one obtains when one surrounds oneself with this wealth.

To invest in this type of wealth requires no minimum entry fee but merely basic character possession involving genuine sincerity and integrity. As an added measure, a commitment to be ever ready to extend emotional and stress relieving support would improve ones value of this wealth.

Most people are naturally talented to manage this wealth but some take them for granted too often that they need to be reminded of this in born skills.

Even the best of them face hardships during the lifetime of managing this wealth. Do expect shaky episodes of dips and bumps in the form of betrayal and back stabs. Occasionally these events happen unintentionally as some may confess in defence of themselves but nevertheless when it does occur, one will further be exposed to the true value and virtues of this wealth in the form of acceptance and forgiveness. Sometimes, too severe is the damage that it will require major asset relocation and could also involve switching of managers, whether permanent or temporary.

It is not a principal guaranteed investment and it is hardly acceptable as a collateralized asset. In fact as a collaterized asset, this form of wealth immediately loses its value.

Its non-transferable to a different asset class but share-able within the same asset category.

The beauty of this form of wealth is that, when and if it fully extends its potential, it has a lasting effect to those that possess it. Its the only form of wealth that can be passed infinitely from one mortal to another irrespective of color or creed, young or old.

No amount of money in this world can buy it. In fact if it ever can be bought with money...then it is not TRUE FRIENDSHIP!

My dearest friend I.F.A. - - - May ALLAH Bless you with HIS DIVINE LOVE and PROTECTION. I had a hard time when visiting you recently. I could not hold my feelings as I choked when we spoke about you. Seeing you in your condition right now aches me so much but I accept that ALLAH knows better than any one of us and I know this for sure...HIS DIVINE ATTENTION is upon you right now!

Barakallahu fi ka ya akhi....
