“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, man cannot live without a spiritual life.” – Buddha.
My spiritual awakening happened at the lowest point in my life. It takes a lot of energy, emotion, and time to try out multiple things. The last 10 years of my life have been a roller coaster ride because I not only had to grow as an entrepreneur but also as a human being, and this is where spirituality helped me. Having had my share of materialistic things, I had to turn within and find myself.
Upon experiencing multiple ups and downs from trying different things, it took me quite a while before I could sit back mindfully and see my existence in the world. Spirituality made me aware and mindful, helping me to climb the ladder of success.
It has been a journey of a lot of unlearning, which has shaped me into what I am today. I was able to build with people I cherish. Spirituality made me realize that dwelling or crying about the past or future will help us achieve nothing. I just do what I’m capable of right now, and I believe that experiencing and living in the present is the purpose of a true human being. To make it simpler, Spirituality is my superpower.
I keep telling people that there is no gimmick in business—only the people and the relationships you share with them, be it a client or a co-worker, which again boils down to the idea of compassion and empathy—the qualities of an ideal human being. No one is flawless, and even I have my share of vulnerabilities. But every day I wake up and strive to be a better version of myself. My father taught me a valuable life lesson – ‘If you want to try something in life, you must first master it.’ I still live by this to this day.
I have learnt that success comes with practicing spiritual principles. You must be disciplined, and inculcate habits such as waking up early every day, and working on the knowledge and practicalities of applying them, which will eventually build your confidence. Spirituality has given me the chance to be optimistic and not indulge in negative thinking. My positive mindset is my key to success. Spirituality is my stress-buster and keeps me focused on my life.
Spiritual practice not only makes everyone involved happier, but also boosts profitability. A spiritual mindset will also inspire, motivate, and foster achievement. It provides mental satisfaction, and as well as material well-being.
Everyone’s spiritual journey is different, one can only share the experiences. This is mine, and I hope when it’s time, you shall have yours too.
