Those who say that money is just dirt on your hands should read this blog very carefully. In fact, I would suggest reading it twice.
This is the story of a young girl who graduated from Mumbai University in 2021 with an impressive CGPA of 9.89 in Bachelor of Banking and Insurance (BBI). With such an excellent academic record, she had numerous opportunities waiting for her. Her brother, elder sister, and family members advised her that it was now time to think seriously about a job or pursue an MBA.
However, she had a different perspective. She believed there was no need to rush. After all, she had completed BBI, a degree related to banking and insurance. In her mind, the job market would always be ready to welcome her whenever she decided to start her career.
But dear friends, life does not always work according to our assumptions.
Instead of taking up a job or enrolling in an MBA program, she spent the next three years travelling and exploring different places. She learned new things, met different people, and discovered many aspects of herself. When people asked about the gap in her career, she would confidently explain that she had given herself the opportunity to explore life and that travelling had been her greatest source of exposure and personal growth.
And honestly, there is nothing wrong with self-discovery and travelling. They teach us valuable lessons that no classroom can offer. However, the professional world often sees things differently.
After three years, when she finally became serious about her career, she faced a harsh reality. Her resume had a long employment gap. Recruiters began asking questions. Opportunities were not coming as easily as she had imagined.
There is another truth in life: when you get the kind of job you truly want, working feels exciting and meaningful. But when you keep receiving opportunities that do not align with your interests, everything begins to feel disappointing.
The same thing happened to her. She became frustrated and confused. The confidence she once had slowly started fading away.
Eventually, she decided to seek help in a different way.
Seeing her daughter's stress and disappointment, her mother remembered something. A few years earlier, their family had purchased a Clear Quartz Shree Yantra from Shwasam Crystals. They had heard that the store also recommended gemstones for different opportunities and life situations.
Her mother said, “We know these people and trust them. Why don't we visit them and see if they can help?”
The girl thought, “Why not? Let's see what happens.”
They visited our shop.
Interestingly, her mother already knew quite a lot about gemstones. Since she knew that her daughter preferred something stylish and fashionable, she chose a Green Aventurine bracelet for her. Green Aventurine is often associated with opportunities, growth, positivity, and attracting abundance.
But while we were talking, we noticed something else.
The girl kept looking at a Labradorite pendant. Her attention repeatedly returned to it. She seemed naturally drawn toward that gemstone.
At that moment, I told her mother, “I think this is the right gemstone for your daughter.”
Many people have experienced this phenomenon. Sometimes, in your very first interaction with gemstones, one particular stone immediately attracts your attention. You feel an unexplained connection with it. In such situations, many crystal enthusiasts believe that you should trust your intuition.
If you instantly feel attracted to a gemstone, wear it without overthinking or delaying the decision.
Over the years, we have met countless people who have shared their experiences with different crystals and gemstones. Some gemstones are traditionally associated with wealth and prosperity.
For example:
Citrine is often called the “Merchant's Stone” because many people believe it attracts financial opportunities, abundance, and success.
Pyrite, also known as “Fool's Gold,” is another gemstone commonly associated with prosperity, confidence, and wealth attraction.
However, many individuals have also shared their experiences with gemstones like Ruby, Labradorite, and Green Aventurine. According to them, these gemstones helped them improve their mindset, creativity, confidence, and leadership qualities.
And sometimes, this is exactly where the real magic lies.
A positive and refreshed mind can help you notice opportunities that you would otherwise ignore.
A creative mind can think of solutions that others cannot.
Leadership qualities can make you stand out in interviews and professional environments.
An improved personality can help you build better relationships and leave stronger impressions.
In many cases, wealth does not arrive simply because of a gemstone itself. Instead, people feel that the gemstone helps them become a better version of themselves, and that transformation attracts new opportunities into their lives.
The young girl also decided to give herself another chance.
She chose to trust the process, work on herself, and move forward with a positive mindset. Gradually, she regained confidence. She started applying for opportunities with renewed energy and a fresh perspective.
Her journey taught her an important lesson:
Never assume that opportunities will wait forever.
Time moves quickly, and sometimes delaying important decisions can make our path more challenging than we expected.
At the same time, it also taught her another lesson:
It is never too late to start again.
Whether through self-improvement, learning new skills, changing your mindset, or seeking guidance through spiritual practices and gemstones, every person deserves a second chance.
Money may come and go.
Opportunities may come and go.
But your mindset, confidence, and willingness to begin again can change the entire direction of your life.
So, the next time someone says, “Money is just dirt on your hands,” remember this story.
Money may not be everything, but financial stability brings confidence, freedom, and choices. It allows us to support our dreams, help our families, and create the life we desire.
And sometimes, all we need is a little faith, a fresh perspective, and the courage to take the next step forward.
