This post is for a very specific type of human...
...the "busy business man".
You know who you are.
You have made your business "the one thing" in your life.
Your business is well beyond "doing great".
It is in "cruise control" as the word goes.
And what is more,
is that due to whatever circumstances,
the market is hungry about what you provide.
It cannot seem to get more of your service.
Things are just lining up one after the other.
Yes, there is turmoil from time to time.
Yes, there are all-day-work-day days.
Yes, there are late-nights.
Yes, there are ...
...
But you say...
"It does not matter"
"I am growing, and I am growing fast."
"No pain, No gain"
"This is life"
...
"Okay", I say, "All good".
...
But ...
beneath all this glamour,
you are still not at peace.
Beyond the business,
there is another busy-ness.
For there is a place of darkness.
A place that you have kept bottled-up.
And to your non-insistence,
a place that you have been escaping from for years.
And also to your non-insistence,
a place that your business saves you from every single day.
What is this place?
This place is a part of your Mind.
The same Mind,
a considerable part of which is your "business".
(The mental projection of your (real) business)
Every time you sense a sinking towards "darkness",
"business" saves you from it.
You have been relying on "techniques", "practice",
"steps" and other processes to "hold it all together",
to not lose yourself in the darkness.
(like it happened once in the past.)
You are also constantly looking for the "next" thing
that will FREE you from this darkness once and for all.
You have even picked it up from here and there
that your very Mind is the "culprit".
And deep down, a part of you knows it.
But somehow, separating yourself from
something so personal and connected to you does not sound right.
For when the sun goes down today, your Mind will whisper...
"It is fine, you still need me, do you not?"
"You still have time"
"you have this and that"
"you are on track with progress"
"you are doing G.O.O.D in your life."
It will also say...
Look!...
"He needs you!"
"She needs you!"
"They need you!"
"What will happen to all of them,
if you decide to just drop "me"?"
"After all,
you need him, her and them in your life, don't you?"
...
But you keep it as is,
...
40 or so years later,
the same Mind will say all the opposite things...
...
"What did you do with your life?"
"You could have done things differently"
"You could have breezed past with the things
that you were stuck with for years"
"You could have made so much more out of that
which you ended up just giving away for free"
"You could have been much more to ALL the people,
who needed you,
but ended up being only a shadow instead"
"You could have had 'that life'
instead of being stuck with 'this life'"
....
You have my word,
it will chatter even more then.
Please read the following lines carefully...
The essence of what was said above,
is not to make you change course
or begin to do things differently right away.
NO!
For in doing so you will play right into
the tricks of the Mind.
The essence of this message is this ...
If you are not SERIOUS about what you read today,
you will not be SERIOUS about them tomorrow.
If the words do not hit you deeper than you want to,
TODAY,
they will not hit you any deeper tomorrow.
For no matter what you do in the next 40 years,
whether you do the "right things",
or you "let it slip" and do all the "wrong things",
40 years later...
... you will still have no choice,
but be forced to listen to the Mind chatter away.
THAT is the predicament that I want you to see.
That is where you are headed TODAY.
Thank you.
