What to Do When You Can’t Be Bothered to Do Anything


also posted in Jane's Blog

I just can’t be bothered!’ This can be a problem when you’re self-employed. And I’ve been experiencing it lately, perhaps not surprisingly. But these moments or phases come at all kinds of different times in the world of self-employment, and it’s one of those perennial questions: how to stay self-motivated?

There are plenty of articles on how to motivate yourself, or stay motivated, on the internet if you look for them. But there is one thing that spiritual business people need to do before any of these, and that is not ‘do’ anything. Yes. Just stay in the place you are at, that place of ‘can’t be bothered.’ It’s possible this might be a bit frightening; [read more]

When Silence Can Be Your Best Business Partner


also posted in Jane's Blog

In our busy, busy world, silence can often be perceived as a threat. Even just the thought of having no background noise, no TV or radio on, is enough to make some people quake. And the word ‘business’ can be broken down itself into ‘busy-ness.’ But a spiritual business, one where the owner or manager is spiritually aware and wanting to actively bring that into their day-to-day business activities, is going to be far more successful when the power of silence becomes used consciously and creatively.

However, firstly you have to become comfortable with it. It simply doesn’t work if you yourself feel uncomfortable. If you’re not used to it, I suggest that you actively seek it out [read more]

Setting Goals – The Old Way of Doing Business

“When you take action based on what you believe, or think, is going to happen, it’s bizarre!“
– Wayne Liquorman, author of Enlightenment Is Not What You Think

What? Surely that’s what we all do – take action based on what we believe or think. That’s how the whole world operates, isn’t it? You have a thought, if you have many similar ones it usually turns into a belief, and then you take action accordingly. It happens all the time – just earlier today I wanted to print something on better quality paper. I loaded the paper, assuming that I would press the buttons and it would print. What actually happened though, was that the printer got well and truly [read more]

What Are You Accepting or Not Accepting in Your Business?


also posted in Jane's Blog

It seems that accepting you are dying, or that a loved one is dying, must be by far the most challenging thing to accept in life, and I’d agree. But this doesn’t mean that accepting ‘what is’ is much easier in any other situation. That’s because, although it appears to be the circumstances that are the difficult things to accept, it is in fact how much we push away what is presented to us in each moment, that really causes the problem. The situation itself simply is – it just exists. Whether you like it or not is another matter, and that’s where the judgment comes in, and trouble begins.

One of the difficulties with acceptance is that [read more]

Doha by Ven Lama Genduin Rinpoche

Happiness cannot be found through
Great effort and willpower
But is already there, in relaxation
and letting go.

Don’t strain yourself
There is nothing to do
Whatever arises in your mind
Has no importance at all
Because it has no reality whatsoever
Don’t become attached to it
Don’t pass judgement.

Let the game happen on its own,
Springing up and falling back
– Without changing anything.
And all will vanish and reappear
Without end.

Only our searching for happiness
prevents us from seeing it.
It’s like a rainbow that you run
after without ever catching it.
Although it does not exist
It has always been there
And accompanies you every instant.

Don’t believe in the reality of good
and bad [read more]
