HOW TO CREATE THE ZENTREPRENEUR IN YOU!
Here I want to share an article by John J Murphy. He talks about changes in our lives and embracing that change and not to allow fear into our lives to stop us from going after what we desire. Whatever you do in life, there is a zentrepreneur within all of us. Seeking release and a creative idea or wanting to express ourselves in some way and manifestation. This is the heart and soul of being a human being. We all desire to grow as a person and explore ways to grow and be creative. We came to this world to interact with one another and to learn and make the world a better place. Though many people become trapped and imprisoned by fear, doubt and insecurity. Rather than embrace change and uncertainty with confidence, we allow it to hold us back. We can be our own worst enemy and that can get in the way. The secret to getting past this fear is to tap into our inner zentrepreneur and applying steps for inspiration and success. Here are John's 4 steps to awaken your inner zentrepreneur.
Step 1 - Let Be
The first step to freedom is “Let Be.” Zentrepreneurs know that we cannot change what already exists. We have to accept it — like it or not. We have to learn from it. Why? Because it already is. It happened. This includes people, problems, circumstances, weather, long lines, slow computers, traffic, difficult bosses, and painful losses. There is no value in complaining about it or getting upset. There is no undoing it. There is no wisdom in letting it bring us down. Stress only makes things worse. The Law of Attraction delivers to us manifestations that match our emotional vibration. Complaining, stressing and being anxious only call more into our lives to complain and stress about. How wise is that? The sage zentrepreneur within us offers us an alternative — the capacity to transcend these emotional temptations. We just have to recognize them when we see them and avoid the trap. Rather than becoming anxious and fearful, we can choose to think differently. We can learn to see what “is” as simply a blessing in disguise, a lesson to be learned. For example, the people who challenge us or annoy us most might be among our greatest teachers. They give us an opportunity to learn patience, wisdom and spiritual presence.
Step 2 - Let Go
The second step in the Ring of Peace is “Let Go.” Rather than resist what is, we accept it, feel it, examine it, learn from it, and then let it go. Resistance only makes that which we are resisting stronger. Why strengthen the enemy? Push back invites push back. Force meets force. Try dancing with the problem instead. Embrace it and then let it go. Admit there is a problem and then release it. Denial will get you nowhere. Rationalization and defensiveness obstruct flow and attach you to the problem. Learn to let it go. There are many proven techniques to assist with this, including EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Meditation, TRE (Trauma and Tension Release Exercises), yoga, tai chi, and healing sounds. Identify and choose a practice that resonates with you… and then practice it! The only obstacle to releasing fears, phobias and limiting beliefs is you!
Step 3 - Let See
When we accept what is and learn to let go of any emotional distress drawing destructive drama into our lives, we experience step three: “Let See.” This step involves a shift in our perception. We see the world very differently. The people who used to annoy us now appear differently. We feel compassion for them. We recognize their suffering or ignorance. We forgive them “for they know not what they do.” We offer a helping hand. We reach out from a higher place — a higher frequency and vibration — knowing that this is really the only way we can be of any true assistance. Misery may love company, but zentrepreneurs know that this match in frequencies does not solve problems. It compounds them. The only way to really help someone in pain is to help them change the channel and see things differently.
Step 4 - Let Flow
The fourth step in the Ring of Peace often results in experiencing a sense of awe and wonder. When we let be, let go, let see and experience ”Let Flow,” it is as if we are living a dream come true. We are “in the zone” as some athletes like to put it. We experience a sense of fearlessness, timelessness and peak productivity. We make ourselves available to a much higher frequency of spiritual energy and we channel this into our work and relationships. We literally light up the room. People feel our presence. They are inspired by our energy… or zenergy! Let’s Awaken Your Inner Zentrepreneur! In return, we reap what we sow. By giving unto others, we are given more to give. We become an instrument of peace, a fountain of love, a beacon of light. By emptying our bowl, we receive more. We channel spiritual wisdom, sacred joy and emotional intelligence. This powerful inner peace then reveals itself to the rest of the world as “good ideas” resulting in positive changes. We make the world a better place.
