Spirituality and materialism

We might be bought out by our parents under the perception that money is evil. We might be told by friends that in order to be successful in business you need to be cunning. You need to know how to take advantage and exploit other people. We have experienced this during the early of industrial revolution. This not only ensures survival of the business but also maximum generation of profit. People who are good hearted might see living in abundance and prosperity are not in-line with their own values. Most people end up working for others. You can see them in different types of co-operations. Some people work with a boss with only concern of money generation. Employees might often feel un-appreciated and taken advantage of. These further re-affirm the idea that rich people are bad. With increasing responsibility such as family and house loan, most people start to close half of their eyes just to carry the normal life. Some delves themselves in the world of fantasy such as computer games and television. They are trying to escape of the reality. The reality is over-whelming for them. Their dreams are never realized.
What I would like to offer here is a new kind of mentality. A new type of business is springing out around the world. The business is about creating values and delivering those values to the society. As the world education quotient is increasing people are adept of distinguishing values that are benefiting to them.
Let’s take example of newspaper. For consciously aware people, they can easily distinguish between newspapers which crave for sensationalism and report the truth. They are even political bias in some newspapers motivated by various reasons. Do you notice that newspapers based on sensationalism tend to locate locally? Expansion of overseas business is proving very difficult. The newspapers which place the truth seems to travel far around the world.

A suitable business is about creating and or delivering values to others. The idea of values is highly subjective and often depends on one’s conscious evolution.
For some people, such as growing up teenagers, they might place strong values on fame and beauty. They might aggravate towards celebrity news and every gossip of it. For the grown-up, they might interest in learning how to invest their money. They might find books, seminar, and workshop about investing a great value to them. Knowing your own value is the first step. Your business can be an expression of your values. Please a few minutes to list down your ten values and arrange them according to importance to you. Make sure that the top few a reflection of your unstoppable passion.

One of passions is to teach people on how to integrate spirituality and materialism in their daily life. It corresponds to my need to raise the human consciousness about spirituality and to express the abundance. What is yours? We need to find a career where we can express our values. In this way we would be happier. By delivering such values in the form of service or product we would start generating money. Because you put your passion within your career, risks and obstacles pale into insignificance. One of the reasons people feel stressed during work is because their jobs are unable to allow them to express such values. They find it uninspired and they viewed the job as a job. Living within our values and passion inspired us. That’s why some people who are rich might end up saying being rich doesn’t give you happiness. Happiness comes from allowing yourself to express your value system. However, without money it is the cause of so many miseries in our life. We need to align our career and business within our value system. Happiness and wealth will follow.
