RIGHT LIVELIHOOD

As we build our businesses in an ethical and purposeful way, I can't help but feel that we are probably engaging in "purposeful alignment" with everyone we do business with. Given that like attracts like...we will soon begin to attract other purposeful individuals on the same journey.

When looking at the Eightfold Path of Buddha's teachings we find RIGHT LIVELIHOOD. "Right livelihood encourages us to seek a way of sustaining ourselves which minimizes the impact we have on others and the world in general. In gaining our living we may feel that circumstances force us into ignoring such considerations, but Right Livelihood encourages us to think differently, to appreciate the interconnectedness of all things and to tread lightly with due care and compassion".


Namaste,
