The story of the Richest Man In Babylon, and desire to live and prosper takes place in ancient Babylon,and written in old English but well worth the effort to understand, pretty easy to be honest with you!

Bansir was a young man with a family. His occupation was a chariot maker.Unhappy with his lot in life, he was barely making ends meet by making stuff for rich people. One day his best friend asks to borrow money. Bansir refuses because his purse is empty of coin. Everything now revolves around not having enough money to do as he desires.

What Are Friends For, Right?

He begins to tell his friend of a dream he had. In the dream he had a fat bag of gold coins hanging from his belt. He freely gave to beggars and all that had a need, he was a generous person. Then he woke up and remembered, his bag was empty. A feeling of rebellion swept over him.

He told his friend that they lived in the richest city in all the world yet they had little, sometimes nothing,and sometimes not enough to make ends meet. He reminded his friend they had earned many coins over the years, yet they had nothing today. Why, even his friend was asking for money.

Then Bansir makes a profound statement, Why cannot we acquire silver and gold, more then enough for food and robes? Will our children follow in the footsteps of thy father too? I wish to be a man of means, to own lands and cattle, fine robes, and coins in my purse.

He was dissatisfied working year after year and yet not able to acquire gold as others do. Bansir had a Desire to Live and Prosper, to become the Richest Man in Babylon.

Then Bansirs friend Kobbi, makes another profound statement, Might we not find out how others acquire gold and do as they do? Perhaps there is some secret we might learn if we but sought from those who know?

With that, they set out to ASK for wisdom from those that were wealthy.

Here is one of the sayings in The Richest Man In Babylon Book, A fat purse quickly empties if there is no golden stream to refill it.

OK

Here are some of my thoughts on Bansir’s journey so far:
He was dissatisfied with where he was at in life. This is not really a bad thing unless you make it a negative. His situation caused him to dream of something better. Than he took action. How? He began to ask the right questions. That caused him to seek out the right answers that could make his Dreams in life come alive.

Dissatisfaction – can lead to indifference. You can use it as a stepping stone rather than a millstone, move ahead rather than being overcome by your present situation.

Dream – There are people that have pipedreams, you know, they wish and hope that one day things will change and get better. They leave life to, whatever will be will be. Than there are those that are propelled forward to make things happen, and to change their lot in life. It is a choice! Some people let things happen “to” them, rather than “for” them. Where are you at in life, and what is your choice? Wishing will never get you to where you want to be in life, but choices will.

Desire – There is more to life than just making ends meet. The desire for something better is the gasoline in your engine that will thrust you forward at warp speed with seemingly very little effort, if you allow it to. Keep desire on the front burner of your heart, so that your dream is always boiling over.

Direction – When you begin to ask different questions, the right questions, you will head in the right direction, choices will be different, and the outcome will also be different.

Your mindeset begins to change and your expectation level begins to rise, and suddenly things are different, better, and good.The Richest Man In Babylon and His Desire To Live and Prosper is a guidebook that will keep you on the right path, the path to prosperity.
