wish I could have that.” “I wish I could do this.” “I wish I could do that.” “I wish I
had something like that.” We have forgotten our own possibility.
What is your potential? You want to maximize your potential. You want to maximize
the potential of your business. Of course you do. Not minimize, maximize! But not
everything is in your control. How your business is doing affects you. If it does well,
you say, “Ah—wonderful!” If it does badly, you go, “Oh, my God, what do I do?”
But what about your existence? What about the potential that you have because you
exist? What does that mean? Is that a business? Well, it’s a very different kind of
business. It is the business of being alive.
Do you know the business of being alive? When everything is good, I consider it
a happy business. A happy business booms because it’s happy. It’s like a tree. It has
nutrition; it has sunlight; it has what it needs. You don’t have to pull on the branches.
It’ll boom and bloom because something is right.
That right is within your heart. I’m here to introduce you to the possibility of you
getting in touch with your heart. When both the mind and the heart are complete,
what do you have? You have this funny little word called fulfillment. Not a person
who is trying to survive, but a person who is thriving. Not a person who is laboring,
but a person who is dancing. When something is good inside, when something is
complete inside, then everything else is much easier to deal with.
If you want to be rich, all you have to do is be generous. If you want to be smart, all
you have to do is be simple. If you want to be strong, all you have to do is be kind.
That’s all it takes.
Now, who here does not have kindness in them? Do you see what I’m saying? You
were born with kindness. You didn’t have to go somewhere and say, “Uh, I will take
$10 worth of kindness, thank you.” Everybody’s born with kindness. It’s free! And if
you have that kindness, you can be strong. That’s all it takes.
