How do I draft a proposal that captures the essence of the work I want to do, conveys it to potential clients in an accessible and explanatory way and is infused with the spiritual principles that guide human interactions? How does one walk the economic path as a service provider and consumer, with spiritual feet? It seems a tall order but these are the questions swirling around in my head this morning. After a sample session with a willing participant last night, I realise that the basis of equitable and just relations need to be established at every moment, constantly repeated, reiterated and set as firm and achievable goals. Rectitude of conduct must be a distinguishing feature of my interactions, guiding this emerging business forward. I want to create relationships that have truthfulness as their very operating force and for that to occur I have to set it as a firm foundation. Economic disparity is a prominent aspect of the manner in which business is conducted today and it pains me when I can see the injustice that persists in the world. The practices of Faith remind me that as this process unfolds, I will be drawn to the material side of the affairs that need attention but I have a choice to view them through this lens. To be deeply reflective and turn to prayer for guidance and support. That I am pondering these questions may seem bizarre to some but I truly believe that if I am to express my God given talents effectively and provide a service to my community, I have to acknowledge the source of my abilities. My business efforts must cohere with my lifestyle and be assimilated into my mode of operation. It is my moral obligation.
It's a life-long struggle. Hugs.
