Karma-"Law Of Attraction"-Spirituality makes you a better Entrepreneur?

en·tre·pre·neur is a noun. A person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so and in lot of cases they are the innovators as well.

Definition of Karma found on web: The sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences. An Entrepreneur believes in Karma and is a person who believes in defining it. Without an Entrepreneur the future may not be better than what it is today.

Law of Attraction : The law of attraction states that every positive or negative things that happens in our life is attracted by us. To some extent what it is saying is that our mind is the most powerful thing.. We can desire anything with a pure and focused mind we will be able to achieve it. For an entrepreneur this is the key driver and strong desire of what they want to achieve.
 
Spirituality and Meditation : Meditation and engaging in spirituality helps us relax which in turn energize and rejuvenate our mind. It helps us connect with our inner self. When we connect with our inner self we understand happiness and we are able to connect with others easily. For an entrepreneur to have success they need to connect with their coworkers, employees and users. Without being able to connect the success will be a long drive.

to avoid ego and shortcomings, Understand influences on your mind have 1on1 with yourself

Conversation can go 3 ways..How to be Happy.. Self Analysis

Communication with other people is a major part of our life , we communicate with our parents, siblings, spouse, relations and at work. Communication is how we share the feeling of love and affection. This is one of the most important skill to have if we are good at it we could be happy, get more done and prosperous in life. 
If we cannot communicate well then life will be miserable, people don't understand you, you are not able to get your point or feeling across. It will be a disaster.

 Probably good communication is one of the main things to have a happy and joyful life.
 
1) Adding context and meaning to the topic/conversation: Sometime an issue/topic is not well described or understood. To make it understandable we need to add details and context to it , without these details we may have gaps in understanding of a problem/topic. Since we don't understand.. the conversation will look like between people who does not not what is going on. Whenever we hear "You/I Don't Understand" is the time to set context as people are not on the same page.
 
2) Towards generalization : To understand a problem or topic we try to generalize it to be able to relate to it with our surrounding .. since we have different lifestyles everyone's generalization will be related to their experience in life .. which could be very different than the other person you are having conversation. You may have to explain how it relates and help other person relate. otherwise two people are having 2 different conversation at the same time .. you can imagine how it will go..

 3) Narrowing down to a point/conclusion : We try to do it so that we can understand the main influencers of/for the topic or the problem. Sometimes we have multiple influences, It takes an effort to set the ground , describe the reason and explain the connection. This is how we find solutions in our life, If no solutions then we have issues in life to deal with. NO SOLUTION=MISERABLE LIFE.
Now imagine that there are 2 people having a conversation if one person is trying to narrow down the cause other is generalizing or one person is trying to generalize the problem even before a having a complete context. Both will result in incorrect conclusion.

 Don't have a conversation which is hopping from one topic to another.. it will frustrate the other person and they will give up on you.

Without doing things in a sequence , problem solving or conversation is difficult. Figure out what phase of conversation/problem solving you are in.. and align yourself, otherwise it will be hard to have a conversation with you or you having a conversation with someone else.. If you have constant conflicts with people keep in mind life is not a mathematical equation where everyone will have the same equation and values to come to the same conclusion. There could be multiple conclusion and they may be opposite to each other.. that’s how we humans are.. we agree to disagree and still respect and can be together. If these contradictions didn’t exist human evolution would have been slow as everyone would have agree to an opinion and stay with it.. for lot of things when we have the same goals we need to agree, collaborate,execute and be together.

So the suggested sequence is
"Problem/Conversation"--->"Set Context"-->"Generalize it if needed"--> "Narrow down the conclusion"
Explain where ever the disagreement, try to respect other persons opinion and context.
Wishing you the best, have lovely conversations and Happy Journey through life!!!

One a side note : When only god or you close relatives can understand you; that means you need to really work on communication with humans :-), Some of us could get into so called spirituality  to avoid human interaction.

Ego, Fear, I am glad to be Wrong, Forgive thy Ignorance

We need to look at this article from a perspective of evolution of soul and society. We have come a long way from stone age , have accelerated in the 20th century and are evolving at a faster pace.. knowing our-self and being part of the evolution helps us stay relevant, when we are relevant/”part of the evolving universe” we are happy and joyful.

When we disagree think of it from other person's perspective you are disagreeing with them.
 
ego noun a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance. Sometimes we wanted to be accepted right when we are not. Why we want to do that , won’t we be better off by knowing to be what is right and not do those errors again? If we take action due to ego when we are not sure or right we will end up on the wrong side.

re·spect noun a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. It is not about being respected .. it about being right or wrong. Respect does not come into play when we are wrong. We should always focus on if we are right, if we are right people will agree with us.

fear noun an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. This is almost a flip side of ego where a person wants to prove their worth. Here a person is always like , what wrong i have done , i could be wrong and they are not able to take action/karma. Not able to take an action is almost similar to taking a wrong action when looked at the perspective of life.

I am glad to be wrong: as i am a learner and am learning new things with every interaction we can be better and more complete human being. this helps in evolution of soul and brings happiness.

Defending or Clarifying: When in conversation are we defending or clarifying? Clarifying is trying to explain why the thoughts and the intent, sometimes clarification is enough to help people understand and avoid negativity. 

Forgive thy ignorance: Let people go; who doesn’t want to be part of the evolution or are not open and willing to listen others opinion. They have in some ways decided not to grow/evolve. It is their wish and desire. We cannot change this person , this person needs to decide when they want to be open and be part of the flow of the universe.

"I am a very nice person": Nice does not say that a person is logically right or wrong. It only expresses a feeling which a person has over logic. We have to be on the right side in all the conversation or things we do, if we don't know we should learn with every interaction and opportunity we get.

 "Assumed opposite is true": Sometimes it is other person's perception (no logic or not able to have a conversation). If it is not black then it is white. Some people has a tendency to assume that if there is a certain thing then they conclude as a fact that the opposite will be true as well. In real life if it is not black then it could be red , white , yellow or any other color and it is possible that it can be white as well. For some they think if it is not black then it is white. I just took a very obvious example. In real life thing can be very gray :-)

We are a part of evolving Universe, We want to be part of it for happiness.

Integrating the opposite Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg (Entrepreneur)


I read that when Mark was feeling stuck Steve Jobs convinced Mark Zuckerberg to travel to India and visit same temples he did. Why India? India is on the opposite side of the globe when looked from Silicon Valley with a difference of day and night. The first thing a person needs to do is adjust their body clock which needs resetting. You are dealing with a different culture which is diverse, people are rich and poor. When coming from Silicon Valley where things are planned for you. You are in a place where you needs to plan everything. It will be a mind-shock. Steve jobs Apple didn’t had much operations in India at that time so probably was not a professional advice... it was probably to widen the horizon. I consider Mediation a part of Spirituality. When we feel stuck we need to consider the following.

Disconnect

We cannot solve the problems with the same thinking that the problem was created with. We need to disengage and then engage to be able to view the problem with a different perspective or different thought process. Meditation can help you disconnect and then connect back.

Meditation

Meditation and engaging in spirituality helps us relax which in turn energize and rejuvenate our mind. It helps us connect with our inner self. When we connect with our inner self we understand happiness we are able to connect with others easily.

Empathy

Once we understand our self we can have empathy... We can understand other and know what can gives them happiness. With this understanding one can come up with a good product which connects with the user/consumer. Mark Zuckerberg to donate 99% of his wealth

Integrating the opposite

We know and believe in what we are doing... to think opposite will be hardest thing to do... We need to try thinking in all the opposite/direction... Once we are aware of extremes we understand the spectrum for broader perspective as success is always in between extremes. Without it one can be successful, but may have less probability of redefining industries like Apple or Facebook.

Eternal Happiness and Material Happiness

Material happiness is short lived. We should feel constantly happy or connected using a product. Once we stop being happy, we stop using a product. The product should make us feel happy when using it like Apple or feel connected with other like Facebook. I think this is very true for consumer products.

To summarize when you are in a place where you need to think of everything, you are not in the world of you where you are the greatest, you have just visited the other side of you where you were... vulnerable, looking for guidance and was engaged in life. This is a mind shock which can reset the stuck feeling in an entrepreneur as you have challenged yourself to be different and you are back to what you do best as an entrepreneur.

Bridging fear of Failure and Success (Stay Hungry, Stay foolish) Entrepreneur

en·tre·pre·neur is a noun. A person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so and in lot of cases they are the innovators as well.

When we are taking a risk or say trying out something that has not been done before .. there will be chance that we may fail. We see there are innovators which constantly make something, but does not fail that often for some it is the other way round.

I say many time “Success is what we define as Success”. If lack of our analysis made us believe that we can achieve a thing in a short time. So as an entrepreneur we need to constantly stay in touch and integrate the opposite, for SUCCESS is FAILURE. We need to constantly be open for new ideas which makes things better or helps us to be successful.

Sometimes ideas are from a place where it is least expected rather than a certified authority :-) on the subject. When you are trying to do something new e.g electric car, there will be lot of experts who know how to do GAS driven cars may suggest something. Their advice may be relevant but may not apply to you, where as someone who could not see the complexity of what you are doing suggest you something that may be totally unexpected which may trigger some thought in you which could lead you to where you want to be. This is one reason why we need to be a good listener and have empathy.

When Steve Jobs said that “Stay hungry”.. was to say stay hungry for answers, why , why not. “Stay foolish” be a fool to listen to ideas , be open and try them without letting ego come in the way.

Living in the moment is Flow , Drishta /Observer Self Analysis

In Spirituality we have a state/concept about living in the moment. This is defined as ultimate happiness as we are into what we are doing and there is nothing else that is distracting.  As per the spirituality if we can live life "Living in the moment" we will have happiness. 

Some researcher have defined this as a "Flow" which delivers a focus and self immersion whenever we get so focused everything else disappears , for that to happen we need to have the building block of the moment so that it doesn't get interrupted.. so a level of competency is required to be in the flow state. 

 One example my other passion is photography and I have been wanting to do it for so many years.  Around 2011 I decided that I will learn photography and be good at it. I spent long nights trying to understand the software, the camera capabilities and different  techniques. Once I was able to acquire the basic and little advance skills I was able to spend many hours and it was a joy to make people look good and bring smile on their faces. I would say I was in being in the moment / flow state.

To have the level of happiness I guess we need to know a good level of skills for what we are trying to do. 

In this case we will be only be happy with what we know.. but life is unknown we don't know what will come next so how can we be in the moment / flow probably the other way to look at life will be to start accepting what is coming our way and deal with it in a very thoughtful manner and appreciate the creation of universe. Even the things we don't like are the creation of this universe we need to accept whole heartedly with calmness and without loosing our balance. It is easier said than done.. but that is key to happiness.

In addition to the flow i think there is one more important aspect  which is  Mind & Body..

Mind has no limits and can have thoughts where as Body is limited and has constraints .. e.g it cannot jump very high , get's tired , can have lack of energy and focus.

For being happy our Mind and body needs to be in sync. Mind has to think rationally and body needs to gear-up to achieve what mind desires. If our mind is desiring lot more than a body can do then we need to make the body capable of achieving what it desires. The body needs to be fit, full of energy , flexible and healthy. With out it happiness is far away.. or we need to desire what our body can achieve. 

For the most successful people .. they have a very focused mind and they make the physical self to achieve what is desired.. Be it Steve Jobs , Bill Gates, Larry Ellison anyone who has pushed the limits to make this world a better place.

This is where the concept of Drishta /Observer comes into play. Mind is  the observer of  body and evaluate it's actions and well being. 

Become a Drishta and push limits of this body to achieve what you desire.

Self-Respect & Engaging With Honor/Respect


We have to be righteous, act with honor without disrespecting other.  When we act with honor and is a giver the universe will appreciate and honor (which in some ways is Respect.)

We should follow at-least the following 2

  1. Keep smiling 24/7 (unless there is a sad reason or hurts someone's feeling)
  2. Give benefit of the doubt (ask for clarification, Most of the time it is our interpretation that may have gaps)
If we see two people arguing
  1. One is Who doesn't have a way to present themselves better
  2. The other person is who cannot prevent an argument
They both could not avoid an argument .. So don't be the person arguing it shows immaturity in us and doesn't help the greater being. Try not be one of them. If we have difference in opinion we should be able to properly explain it

Ego or Egoist


Ego could be an inferiority complex in hiding that a person wants to over come by proving that they are right and want recognition for it. This is not acting with respect or honor.

 We should side with the righteous cause when we are right we are respected and honored by other people.


Managing Criticism

This is the most common thing we need to face. Sometime it's our interpretation and sometime it is really someone who is trying to criticize us.. We need to take this in a positive way to deal with it.. We should be able to manage criticism in a way that we don't feel humiliation or perceived to be humiliated and we should absorb any learning that is possible out of it.. If we do this for a while you will see there will be less of criticism as people will find less issues in us. Which is good for us as general improvement and quality of life we live. We should be smart enough to be able to filter the criticism for the sake of it and a genuine opportunity to improve .. it is our responsibility to evolve and be a better soul.


How we communicate 

e.g for if someone ask us a question ... What are you doing?
  1. Why the hell you want to know what i am doing?
  2. Why do you want to know what i am doing?
  3. I am doing .. explanation of  what you are doing..
for the person who who is answering this question .. their life will turn out to be depending on the answer they gave..

for the first "Why the hell you want to know what i am doing?" do you think this is a happy conversation? I don't think so.. i don't want to be dealing with a person who give this kind of answer.

for the Second "Why do you want to know what i am doing?" it depends on what was the attitude with it was spoken... if it was harsh then it is almost as the first one but a little better... if it is said politely then it is more of inquiring back which is fine and can get the conversation going forward.

for the third "I am doing .. explanation of  what you are doing.." is the best way to have the communication going further for collaboration going on.. All said and done it is hard for a person to achieve than a team of people working together.. it is hard to get  people together to work on a thing .. and it is hard to see many people succeeding in life .. be  a person who can bring people together, success , happiness for yourself  and others.

In someways self-respect is reflection of how we engage with people around us. If we get angry, irritated, biased and make wrong choices.. We loose self-respect and our honor.

Can we Give more than we Take ?

Giving is the law of nature and we are always thank full to the sun, moon, earth , air, water and fire. These are the heavenly bodies that is part of nature which gives us and are essential for us to survive.. how many time have we hated sun, moon, earth , air and fire.. Probably not much... yes there has been few times when we have very hot weather, high tides caused by moon, earthquakes , high winds,floods and fires. 

Sometimes the all-giving universe/nature can be harsh on us.. when someone is so giving we don't find faults in them.. we find the faults in us to figure out what we did to make them angry rather than .. what they did that made us angry.

So if we are giving in nature .. it doesn't mean that we need to be perfect in every aspect.. I could be good at a certain thing.. e.g if I grow apples I can give/donate apples .. and that is fine.. it will be wrong of people for expecting me to give/donate oranges.. for whatever I have there will be someone who will have less of it and what ever I can spare .. in term of time and resources I should do that.. When we give.. it give us humbleness and to some extent some insight in life, we grow with that insight and become better.. Imagine that we are sitting alone in a home .. there is no opportunity to connect with the universe around us to evolve to be a better soul.

Spirituality @ the core is about giving, knowing our place in the universe,  understand ourselves and be righteous.

Giving and figuring out a way to help those who need is the first step in being a giver than a consumer.. when we are the giver we are part of the source/universe which helps in sustaining life on the planet earth which is part of the universe. This act of giving will give us a sense of belonging and being connected with the universe. Who can fault us on that...

Stay away from people .. who's first thought is that everyone is trying to trick them. We should always be careful about not being taken advantage of..  The first is a negative outlook and later is a Positive outlook towards life.. the outcome is the same. We are protecting ourselves from harm.

Try not to be around selfish people as they will stop the flow of energy
