What you treat with devotion, grows.

Recently, I have been becoming more curious about people’s attitudes towards money & life in general. And I think I came across a phrase that sums it all up – What you treat with devotion, grows.

In fact, whatever you treat with devotion grows. And while devotion is technically a noun, I think it also represents as a verb. It is what you put into action until eventually, one side of the spectrum wins.

Most people understand this concept for relationships. We know that when we treat relationships with devotion (time & effort), it flourishes. But the thing, this really applies for most other aspects in life too- business, career, education and money (financial well being) too.

Take for example, if you have a low devotion towards money and do not treat it with care, you are likely to spend more or be more careless on spending it. At the end of the day, you may find that there has not been much growth in your wealth.

If you have a high devotion towards earning money, you are likely to navigate yourself on course for that. You grow, your ability grows, your earning potential grows.

If you have a low devotion towards investing your money, then of course your portfolio is unlikely to grow. In fact, it would be more likely that you lose your capital.

If you have a high devotion towards financing/donating money, then you would always find your position to give. And those whom you give and treat with devotion? They grow.
