Would you like to take a cup of tea with me?

Today I saw in a Yoga magazine a story that took my attention. A man came to yoga school and could handle his love to a woman who didn't love him. He was desperated. The yoga master wanted to take a cup of tea with him to explore his state of almost luck. The man didn't get and left. Few time later he came back explaining he got over this and this love was nothing for him and he was not really in love. He asked the master to take this cup of tea with him. the master answered: "Maybe later".

This story shows exactly how the wolrd of today is working. We only do something if we know we can get something in return. We do a favour to someone as he can return the favour, we are in love with someone as we want to marry this someone, we give gifts as we are sure we will receive gifts in return. This is how it works.

But what if this is not the result that counts? What if this is the journey that we are intended to make? What if the state of journey is the most important?

to open your eyes to the world and see opportunities in journey or just doing something is not what we focus. And especially not in business. Sure, we have to live from something. But this aspect lets us forget often how beautiful is just to do something for this doing itself. This joy can change worlds. And sometimes it makes the life easier.

Have a great evening all,
