Imagine this scenario:

you’re taking a walk down the street with your beloved grandmother, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine,

when suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of something shiny on the ground.

Upon closer assessment, you realize it’s a 10-euro banknote!

You’re ecstatic and want to pick it up, but your grandmother advises you against it for some reason.

Disappointed, you continue your walk with your grandma, but then, to your surprise, you spot a 50-euro banknote!

You can barely contain your excitement and are eager to pick it up this time, but your grandma once again stops you from doing so.

As you both walk further, you come across an old chest overflowing with glittering gold coins, but you decide not to acknowledge it, remembering your grandmother’s words.

Suddenly, your grandma trips over the chest and falls to the ground. When she asks you to help her up, you refuse, using the same words she had used earlier:

“No, no, no granny! We do not pick things up from the ground!”

Lesson

While this may seem like a humorous tale from Slovenia,

it carries a profound message about how we perceive and handle money.

Vadim Zeland’s philosophy suggests that discovering cash on the ground is a sign of good luck. Refusing to pick it up, no matter how small the amount, demonstrates a lack of appreciation for money.

When we disregard the small things in life, we cannot reasonably expect to attract more significant opportunities.

Conclusion

Therefore, it is essential to adopt a positive attitude and show gratitude for the little things in life,

including small denominations of money.

By doing so, we cultivate a favorable energy that can draw more abundance into our lives.

Who knows, maybe you’ll be the one to discover a treasure trove of gold coins next time!

Don’t hesitate to pick it up!
