Thanks The Ruminant @theruminant

What a great thought you have had. Go for it 🙂 You will do well.

I will share my perspective here and see if it resonates with you.

You can start any business whenever you feel like once you have done your homework and weighed down your pros and cons clearly and rationally. Now coming back to people. You will find people in any job, yeah ? Some tasks require more dealings with people and some require less. However, you can’t avoid people (mean, critical, selfish, nice, happy, considerate, etc) in any job.

To avoid ego clashing when 2 people come together is quite easy. I like your thought of seeing yourself as the vessel for the light or divine grace to pass through to others. If every action of yours is done with an intention to bring good to people in some form or other, real success won’t be too behind.

When we judge ourselves, we project our judgments onto others as we start seeing some bits of us in others that we do not like OR on the other hand, subconsciously, we want people to behave in a way that we see as appropriate based on our conditioning. If we don’t like something or something doesn’t agree with us, it triggers off a chemical upheaval in our brain followed by a sub optimal chain of reactions. However, if you are only the vessel for knowledge to pass through and not the DOER yourself, you will find that your judgement of self will slowly wither away. And wah lah, other people will stop bugging you with their personalities, grievances, hurts as you do not see them as an annoyance anymore. You are able to maintain your inner peace and quiet and as such have less reactions and less drainage of good energy.

I deal with a lot of not so happy or grateful people in my day to day work. This used to bother me for years and cause me a lot of anguish but now, I can proudly say that it ain’t so bad. Situation is still the same but I have changed for the better.

I am able to maintain my inner peace even in the most irritating situation. I just take a deep breathe in and visualise the light doing its work through me and get on with the job. When I am just merely a vessel and not the source of knowledge itself, where is the ego clashing ? With less judging and more creating, I have managed to change the type of people I attract in my life as well. The moment they come into my aura or surrounds, they turn from devils into sweet little angels ha ha ha ha ha. If some difficult personality still manages to come through, they usually calm down when they don’t get a reaction from me (both at verbal and body language level). I am able to see them in a different light and don’t get excited by their complaints, grievances or dramas. I just focus on my good work and get rid of the energy debris that I have collected from others by doing meditation as and when required daily. It is like how we take showers for keeping ourselves fresh and clean physically, meditation keeps ME the soul clean by getting rid of negative energy garbage collected with every encounter. It is not people per say who are driving us crazy but the energy they bring with them, which affects our well being and brings out the worst in us. If we know how to deal with this, fears won’t seem as bad and ego clashing will become a secondary issue.

Hope this helps and that someone else can provide you with a solid practical advice rather than my usual spiritual spill lol
