_If destiny is predetermined by a supreme being, does it mean he's responsible for poverty?_

_If nature defines the outcome of our life endeavours, does it mean that nature pre-selects those who'll be rich and poor?_

Yesterday, I ran into  a trader who believes there is nothing like financial principles. To him, nature or a supreme being is responsible for our financial status. 

He argues that one could read motivational and inspirational books, practice them and yet be broke all because nature has destined him to be so. 

I refused to belief this. 

I argued boldly stating my facts that although nature has a role in the results of our life endeavours, our individual efforts still remain vital. 

Nature could provide opportunities that could be defined as luck, grace, favour, etc; but what differentiates Mr A from Mr B when provided with equal opportunities is nothing but individual efforts. 

He went on with his argument that there are several illiterates who has neither read motivational books nor heard about financial principles yet they're rich. With some examples, he stood firmly with his opinion that wealth is nothing but an experience felt by only those selected by nature. 
"If his argument is true, then nature is wicked. Then the supreme being responsible for this is not just after all " I thought. 

I believe every wealthy man is a respecter of certain financial principles knowingly or unknowingly. These principles could be gathered through parental or guardian advice, movies, experiences and environment. It doesn't necessarily mean it must be termed 'principles' or acquired through books. 

Although man's plan might not always work out due to some unforseen natural occurrences regarded as **risk**, but if his plan obeys natural principles and falls in place with predetermined natural occurrences, his plan will materialize. 

>Risk is the ignorance of predetermined natural occurrences. 

One could thank nature when his risk produced a good outcome. But no one will ever see wealth if he sits at home, sleeps all day long without taking some calculated risks. 

# IN CONCLUSION

There a million risks to be taken on a daily basis. Which of them you take is not defined by nature but rather the outcome of those risks. 

If only you knew for certain what will happen in a minute time, then there would be no need for risks. 

But since we don't, we must try as much as we can to align our daily financial risks with natural financial principles and occurrences so we could at the end of it all **BE FINANCIALLY FREE!!!**

# You too can gain your FINANCIAL FREEDOM!!!
