#12: Work as a Monk - Monk Mindset


Listen Later

When I was a monk my daily life consisted of more prayer than anything. That was our main work as a monk is to pray for the world. But it's also our work to do a lot of other things such as being hospitable, practicing the virtues, and try to live in harmony with each other. We could easily make money starting a production line company making any product. A lot of monasteries have at least one business associated with them in order for the monks to make money. Some monks make chocolates, mustard, and even brew beer. They could easily make millions of dollars selling "monk beer" to retailers but their make goal is to pray and not make millions. They could easily make tons of money but if more time is spent on business rather than prayer then that defeats the purpose of living like a monk. In your daily life, you should have the main goal: journaling, reflecting, meditating. Don't let anything get in the way of you achieving your goal for the day, even if it is making money. https://MonkMindset.com
