Q: You talked about your competitive side in another interview. It resonated with me in terms of entrepreneurship, as we are often rather competitive people by nature. When you are a spiritual seeker and you are running a rather big business in the USA, having to look out for competing companies I assume, is there a conflict here?
Well, I want to be 100% truthful with you, Emilie. I think this is a growing edge for me. I am not there yet. I'm in the middle of working this whole thing out myself. One thing I know is that there is a healthy and an unhealthy side to competitiveness in me. The healthy side pushes me to constantly innovate, to go for extreme excellence, to always be inventing, and always a step ahead. So, it's a creative force and that's good. I think the negative side is when I compare myself with other people. There is something about that which isn't true, and it isn't helpful. Everyone has a right to express their best.
The Inner MBA program at Sounds True is a nine-month immersive training program. Lately, we added Spencer Sherman to our faculty, who teaches the inner mastery of money. It's about bringing dharmic meditative principles together with the world of money.
I learned from him a practice rooted in Buddhism, which you can apply in business and as a competitive person. I noticed a huge transformation through this practice. It's "sympathetic joy," which is one of the heavenly abodes. You practice sympathetic joy when other people have terrific successes. When your business competitors have huge successes, a lot more money to work with, or they get a huge account; or when someone writes a New York Times Bestseller while you're still working on your book; practice actually feeling their joy as if it were your own. You can take this even further and imagine their success becoming bigger! Imagine their face on the cover of a huge magazine, and so on.

How Does Fear Affect Our Roles as Mothers? - Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda
Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda, and realizes the importance of removing fear from our hearts in order to nurture our children.For young women like myself, who are future mothers, I trust we are on the path of becoming selfaware and brutally honest with ourselves. We are creative beings, never forgetting the gifts with which we have been bestowed— the love and tenderness, natural instincts, and intuition to feel the right path. It all lies in the mysterious meanderings of the heart. Are we really listening to our hearts, or confusing the bombarding information on social media with reality?
