On purpose

My meditation teacher Maharishi says that there comes a point when you stop meditating for yourself and you start meditating for the healing of humanity.

This is remarkably similar to something that Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, used to say. Don’t train for yourself, but train to make the world a better place.

I think that that’s a good place to run your practice or your business from. Yes, it’s commercial, so yes, make money. And yes, you may as well set it up to support the lifestyle you want.

But ultimately, it should be the vehicle that you use to make things better.
