As you know, business requires a strong measure of faith. I just gave a talk around this last night. Yet, the Bible says "faith without works is dead." We must back up our faith with due diligence. I also want to add a comment, God wants us to be wealthy, to raise up HIS kingdom. The BMW should be a byproduct of our wealth, not the sole purpose. Anyway, nice blog! Dear Yaro:

I think you're more likely to feel this way when what you do is truly congruent with who you are, which I know is the case with me, and am sure it's the case with you, oo. Understanding yourself is one of life's big challenges, so when you achieve this understanding through meaningful work, the knowledge that you're "doing the right thing" is clearly going to invoke the same kind of focus, clarity and inner peace that people who follow traditional religion experience. Feeling religious about what they do, sometimes to the point of being evangelical, is common amongst solo business owners. In fact I think this kind of enlightenment can only be achieved when you work for yourself, but that's another post.... Thanks as ever for your inspiring work, Sam Hi Yaro,

But for the religious (or people who have other faiths), does business and religion mix? Thinking about business and money so much (for guys, even more than sex), could mean the beginning of the root of all evil. Anyways, personally, I find myself torn between what I want to do with my business and my beliefs as a Christian. Nice blog. I'm going to add your link on my blog.

This is the best article I've read from you and one of the best on any blog I've read. I myself also do not subscribe to any one religion but do attend a non denominational church and believe that it does take a tremendous amount of faith in God to not only be an entrepreneur, but also to go through everyday life and raising a family.

I live in Thailand which is a predominantly Buddhist country. The Thais have a remarkable tolerance for those little things in life that send Joe average in the west absolutely nuts. I usually kick start my day with 20 minutes mediation (or quite relaxation if you like) in order to ‘still’ the mind. It’s a simple process but it’s definitely not easy and only continued practice makes progress here. It’s a great way begin your day and a one started with this ‘quiet time’ usually goes a lot better than one started without it. Buddhism is not a religion as such but more a way of life. A Buddhist monk would probably add and extra ‘o’ into ‘God’ thus using the word ‘good’ a lot, and it’s that goodness, and learning that it’s nice to be nice, which lies the foundation for a peaceful, and purposeful lifestyle. Having said that, there’s a lot of scamming goes on in this country with both Thais and expats alike, and it ain’t perfect by a long way, but living among the Buddhists can teach one a lot about patience and tolerance which are valuable tools for business thinking and business ethics as we all know. So, I have faith that everything will be alright so long as I remember not to take myself too dam seriously, and learn to plan ahead without trying to plan the results. That way, I don’t set myself up for disappointments, a drift off on tangents. Cheers Aitch Great post Yaro.
