Could pursuing wealth and pursuing enlightenment be never on the same path? Should you only choose one?
Today on The Smart Zen Podcast, Yumi answers your questions as she herself had gone through this dilemma before. There can be a conflict of wanting wealth and wanting enlightenment if your belief system and mindset that encompass these ideas doesn’t serve you and more importantly the others. You can fuse these two goals of yours – you just have to remember that everything you do is not entirely for you. When you start the transformation and adapt the way of smart zen, you start attracting spiritual growth, financial success, and happiness in no time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind in the present moment.” – Buddha
Yumi had his own dilemma about this. It was difficult to see the parallels of achieving spirituality and personal growth, and growing her profit-inducing business. There was a notion that wanting wealth is the same as being greedy. It was hard for Yumi to decide.
Shiny object syndrome (SOS) – It’s a common ‘disease’ for entrepreneurs wherein they tend to lose focus and chase for almost every opportunity that comes along their way.
Thought leaders, motivational speakers, and entrepreneurs will try to sell their own ‘formulas’ to success through online courses, books, seminars, etc. People get attracted and avail their products and services and then, as much as 95% of people who buy these products get surprised why it didn’t work for them..
You can only see the value of all what you’re doing when you realise that you have to give value to others first before you. We’re all interconnected, so when we give off a high vibrational frequency that can be felt by others, we also receive the same thing from our environment.
BEST MOMENTS
“Once you experience oneness, you’ll know that’s the gateway to enlightenment.”
“I thought I bought a formula to be my solution. I tried to resolve my problem with money and the action that went with it. The reality was that it was not that thing I bought that was missing in my life. The missing ingredient was ME.”
“When I prove the value of my service, only then will I receive the value in return.”
“It’s only by learning how to realign yourself to the universe and tune in to the energy that you’ll change something.”
