4 Simple Steps To Reducing Conflict, Challenge And Scarcity In Your Business Life

Posted on by

Part of the new series on Spirituality and Success

In coaching people to achieve more success and fulfillment (and happiness) in their livelihoods, Ive experimented with hundreds of strategies, principles and concepts to learn which have the most transformational impact on individual success. Ive found that gaining awareness of and positively shifting how we feel and think about the endeavors were engaged in dramatically shapes the outcomes of these endeavors. In other words, when our minds and hearts are full of conflict, doubt and resistance about what were doing, then the results we get from our work are also full of conflict, doubt and resistance.

Eager to learn more about this process, and how to help myself and others clear the pathway for more success, I took the advice of a new friend and colleague Zhena Muzyka whos achieved tremendous success in her business Zhenas Gypsy Tea. Zhena recommended I read the book The Diamond Cutter: The Buddha On Managing Your Business and Your Life, by Geshe Michael Roach, and it was a powerful experience for me.

The Diamond Cutter is a global bestseller which tells the story of how Geshe Michael helped build Manhattan-based Andin International Corporation into a $250-million per year operation, which was sold to Warren Buffett in 2009. The Diamond Cutter business model is based on Michaels experiences as a young Princeton graduate, who as an exchange student ended up spending 25 years in Tibetan monastic universities, becoming the first American in 600 years to be awarded the title of geshe, or master.

This week I caught up with Geshe Michael, who is now CEO of the Diamond Cutter Institute, which advises corporations and governments worldwide on management issues.

Kathy Caprino: Your consulting firm operates in 20 countries on all five continents. Whats on your mind right now? What are the hot spots?

Geshe Michael Roach: I think hot spots is exactly the right word. Just this week my staff and I returned from 10 days of private consultations in the Middle East for government and financial institutions from eight different Islamic countries.

Arias defense psychologist refuses to go down 'Slime Alley'

PHOENIX -- Sexuality, spirituality and plenty of secrets. For the first time since the jury reached a verdict in the retrial of Jodi Arias, we're hearing the testimony from one clinical psychologist who specializes in twisted sexual behavior.

Dr. L.C. Miccio-Fonseca didn't portray Travis Alexander as an evil person, but rather as someone conflicted and leading a double life. "Perhaps the one that took the lead, in the daytime, was the spiritual Mr. Alexander, was the man who really wanted to do right. And in the evening time, it was T-dog,"Miccio-Fonseca said.

Travis by day and T-Dog by night. Psychologist Miccio-Fonseca testified she believed Alexander bounced between being sexually deviant with Arias, yet when friends were around, he appeared committed to his religious convictions.

"The evidence is in text messages; in emails. As difficult as it is to realize that, to deal with that reality, he did, he had, like, a double life."

According to Miccio-Fonseca, Alexander's sexual deviancy included interest in minors, both boys and girls. Arias claimed not only did she walk in on him looking at an image of a young boy, but Alexander also compared Arias to a 12-year-old girl"

"It pauses me, I want to take a look at this and I want to see if there are other indicators because he's referencing a minor. Normally men don't make comments about, you sound like a pre-teen. He provides, according to her, some explanation about, that he was a victim of abuse, that having sex with women makes him more normal."

By the end of her testimony for the defense, the psychologist summed up the Arias and Alexander relationship as consensual but "explorative."

Omid Safi: Less iPhone spirituality, more recharging our hearts' batteries

You want to see someone in a cosmic and existential state of panic? Look at folks when the battery indicator light on their cellphones turns red. Its not merely a look of an appliance, a thing, running out of juice. It is the panicked look of a human being concerned about crossing over to the realm of non-existence.

Oh my God No text? No Facebook? Who will know I am alive?

I spent a lot of my time around 18-25 year-old people in classrooms, in coffee shops, in bookstores, in libraries. Much of our time is spent in university spaces, some with beautiful tall windows with magnificent views of quads. If you watch these young people closely, as I do, youll see that when they walk into a room they scan the room.

No, they are not looking for the best views. They are not looking for the most comfortable chairs. They are looking for a place to plug in, to charge. Time and again, they pick the place to charge their appliances over recharging their own souls.

This is where we are as a human species. We crave intimacy, and yet we confuse intimacy with technological connectedness. We have more ways of keeping in touch, and yet seem to have less and less meaningful things to say to one another. We are lonely, deeply lonely. So many of us crave community and intimacy, and are looking for it in all the wrong places.

On one hand, there is the 50 Shades of Gray nonsense and a 97 billion dollar porn industry having sucked so much of intimacy out of sexuality and sensuality. We have far too many of our men obsessed with cartoonish sexual gratifications. We pay a price for this obsession: this demeaning attitude that looks at women as objects to be possessed rather than autonomous human beings. The other casualty for both women and men is intimacy, foregoing the opportunity to establish real relationships based on vulnerability, communication, trust, and honesty.

On the other hand, we have our devices that seem to be never more than an arms length away. We have Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Snapchat, WhatsApp, and a hundred other ways of staying connected. As long as our phones are beeping and ringing, we feel assured that someone, somewhere, likes us. We want to be liked, we need to be loved, but we are all too often unwilling to risk the vulnerability to establish real meaningful intimate relationships.

One-third of us would choose our electronic devices over being intimate with our partners. Whats wrong with us?

We used to look at movies like The Matrix and Monsters Inc. that show machines sucking energy from humans as a metaphor of our anxiety about technology. Its not a metaphor any longer.
