Hello Tee,

yes, they truly are great role models I am truly grateful for them.

Thank you very much for your kind words, I hope I can achieve this dream, but as mentioned I am already working on a business plan for exactly that, with the foundation being capitalistic – in a sense that its the base for the company to be healthy, to not write red numbers, but do not have it as an ultimate goal, which I currently feel like is the case with the company I am owning a big share of.  I already communicated my intentions to sell everything off and start anew.

Thank you so much for the link I already checked it out and it seems to be very interesting indeed. Thanks for your blessings, i am sure it will turn out well since it is something I really want to do to plant seeds of transformation for our environment and the way we do business.

There is a book in german roughly translated to “Lead, shape, move: Values and wisdom for a globalised world” by the dalai lama on ethical business and it inspired me a lot, maybe you can find it as an English translation 🙂

I am also rooting for you, may whatever you do lead to the well-being and happiness of others and yourself 🙂

Hello Tee,

thanks for your thought. Of course, this is true, but at the same time, I am very successful, also in a materialistic way.
But I’d rather not be and move towards a more straightforward, uncomplicated, and “less successful” life, so I am caught between doors and trying to maneuver out of this situation. Which I am, I am working to start something very different.

I am already there, I am young but I managed to do what most people won’t – to run a multi-million dollar company, but it doesn’t make me happy, there is no value in this, thus I am caught between what I know, and what I know to be, but what is not yet (if that makes sense, I’m not an English native speaker 🙂 ).

Anyways as mentioned, I feel like I have been making a lot of progress in letting go and at the same time accepting what is there, anger, greed, and ill will and I feel like its ok, its fine to be there, but at the same time I help it being transformed, or I try to 🙂

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response anita, I truly value it.

There is great truth in this and I did just that, I accepted my anger and welcomed it in every mediation to be here with me, to feel free to come and go as it wants, I will continue to do so. At the same time I tried to look deeply into my brothers existence and understand his suffering to gain compassion and understanding, both of these things helped me tremendously already. As a third practice I now ALWAYS hug my brother when I see him and listen to him thoroughly when we talk, to give as much attention as possible in order to not just practice on my cushion, but to also live what I try to practice.

again, thank you for your reply, thank you for the quotes which help me to understand more deeply and to keep on walking the path 🙂

Greetings Lukas

Hello Anita.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

My Partner is way better off in the Deal financially, which is fine, He is the Real founder of the Company, He put in a lot of money, but it makes me angry and it makes me feel underappriciated, so i guess the Anger is fueld by my jealousy. Im jealous of him being better of and thus i can never “overtake” him in this regard and will always Stay behind and He will be better of always, this makes me jealous.

And the underlying Problem seems to be that i cant manage to be happy with what i have – which is plenty. I can manage this in nearly every other Situation but not in this.

And it really dissapoints me with myself that i am this “unnobel”
