Why I Almost Threw Away $15,000 Today
I can't believe it. I almost threw away $15,000. And I probably have thrown other sums of money away before.
You wouldn't do that, would you? I hate to tell you, but you may very well have done the exact same thing—or worse—if you currently think the way I normally did.
The $15,000 wasn't anything as obvious as a check. It came somewhat disguised.
As I sorted through a stack of mail today, I came across my neighborhood newsletter. I scanned it quickly and was about to toss it.
Under normal circumstances, it would be in the garbage right now.
But circumstances lately have not been normal. I've been on a voyage of discovery with a course called BANABU lately, and it caused me to see something in that newsletter which I would have completely overlooked.
It's kind of hard to describe what BANABU is, because it basically helps you focus on whatever area of your life you'd like to change. Want to bring greater wealth into your life? BANABU helps you do that. Want to improve your relationships? BANABU helps with that, too. Weight loss, overcoming shyness—you name it, BANABU can help you with it.
Whatever situation you want to apply it to in your life, BANABU helps you unlearn the unproductive ways of looking at things that have always held you back. It helps you discover news ways of approaching those desires that bring you dramatically greater success.
These things are not just theory. BANABU's 11 principles are proven to work. They've brought results in countless lives and for countless desires.
So what did it change in me that let me find $15,000 in something I otherwise would have thrown into the trash?
One article in the newsletter talked about a new home improvement program the city was offering. They would lend up to $15,000 to homeowners for home improvement.
Ordinarily, I would have read that far and thought, "Nah, I don't want to go through the hassles of taking out a loan. I don't want the upheaval of a major improvement project. Nothing here but hassle."
My hand started the newsletter toward the waste basket. But then I remembered one of the BANABU principles and decided not judge this news according to old, preconceived ideas.
I read farther in the newsletter. Boy, did my jaw drop!
These loans were FULLY FORGIVEABLE. If we lived in the house for 15 years, we would owe no interest and no principal. It would be $15,000 of home improvement work that we could get WITHOUT PAYING A CENT!
And if it wasn't for the changes BANABU helped me make in my thinking, I would have thrown that $15,000 away. Who knows how much I've thrown away in the past by shutting myself off from good things because of the old, negative ways of seeing them.
No doubt you have areas of your life that you'd like to change, too. And no doubt you've done the same thing with those areas that I almost did with that $15,000.
This $15,000 isn't the only instance of overlooked money that I've found. Since I started putting BANABU principles to work in my life, I've been amazed at things I otherwise would have overlooked—and lost.
I firmly believe that BANABU can help you discover things you want in life that currently escape you because you don't realize you're overlooking them. I encourage you to check out what pleasant surprises BANABU can add to your life.
