TOP 8 HEALING GEMSTONES FOR MEN | LIFE CHANGING CRYSTALS AND THEIR HEALING PROPERTIES

Starting the day at 5:30 a.m. every day, I head out to Central Park for a morning jog. Staying healthy both in the mind and body is important when it comes to working laboriously daily for hours non-stop, and keeping a routine is what makes us stay on track in this hectic career life. The soft autumn breeze refreshes my mind as I jog along the path, and the warmth of the sun gives me a sense of relaxation. With this salubrious habit, I am motivated and ready to go to work.

Having a daily routine like this one is common for the people in the investment banking world- one of the most challenging jobs of the era - because we need to keep a clear mind and stay motivated to overcome all the trials and tribulations our job encounters. But despite doing so, there aren’t many people that stayed working in this area for as long as me. This has always been a mystery because, with the same habits and routine, it seems to be reasonable for them to keep going as I did. 

What made me different from them? What gave me the strength to adhere to my job?

I’m not sure what exactly brought me strength during the lowest of times, but looking back, the biggest difference from my colleagues and I is the way I chose to cleanse my disposition. Some of them chose to seek refuge in bars for a quick drink, or take up meditation, but I chose to look for help in a particular field, gemstones.

The Tiger Eye gemstone was the one I chose to help me along the way. During the financial crisis in 2008, I had hit rock bottom. Companies and banks collapsed, and the clients I managed had lost large amounts of money, which later caused legal issues and compensation problems. I was on the verge of losing my job and going into debt, and I was so close to giving up like the people around me.

Out of desperation, I took a chance in buying a Tiger Eye gemstone. At first, I still struggled in hopelessness, but after a month, I suddenly gained the courage to stand back up and venture forward, traveling to China in search of new investments. The strength is what made me the way I am today; with the right perspective and disposition, you can easily find the right direction.
