Monday Musings: When Simple Wisdom Becomes A Profit Center

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

Recently we received several emails from a professional organization offering to train us and our employees in the art of mindfulness! We have also noticed a couple new magazines called Mindful, The Mindful Mom.  It has become a concept to market and to profit from. We have no argument with making money!

 

People are inventing processes of how to achieve a very simple and profound quality that we all have innate access to. From one point of view, it is a good thing to have more people focus on being mindful. From another point of view, we can easily picture a scenario of the mindful against the mindless conflict. We can see these headline:

"Our agents are trained in the art of mindfulness, are yours?"

 "I market homes, mindfully!"

"We build homes mindfully!"

"My mom is mindful and yours is not!"

"Got Mindfulness?"

 

There really is no mystery to it.  The more you practice, the better you become at it...In the words of Thich Nhat Hanh,

 

We have a lamp inside of us, the lamp of mindfulness which we can light anytime.  The oil of that lamp is our breathing, our steps, and our peaceful smile.  Our practice is to light up the lamp.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead,

I remain mindfully yours,

Alexandra

Good morning,  Alexandra and Ron --- mindfulness is more than just a word-of-the- moment or the latest concept we are hearing.

The photograph is just gorgeous! Did you take it? I really like it a lot!

Mindfulness is such a popular term these days. I am seeing the word attached to mediatation, business, health magazines, articles on innovation/creativity, etc. I must agree with Michael Jacobs it sees to be the latest concept and I wonder why?

Michael Jacobs we heartily agree with you, it has been the latest word.  Funny enough I have unsubscribed twice, and I am still getting emails...somebody is not mindfully minding the unsubscribes!  LOL

Patricia Feager we have been long time students of mindfullness.  It is in every part of our day, it is about being in the moment.  It takes practice and I am still practicing...

Yes, I took that picture at the Farmers Market.  Wishing you a great week.  A

I think "Madison Ave" words tend to catch on and work for a while. As long as you do no harm, make all the $$$$ you can.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I am always happy to see people making money...I just find it funny that think they need a PhD in it to get it.  It is really such a simple concept, after all.  A

Morning Alexandra.

I recently took the D.I.S.C. assessment again.  I went from a off the wall high D to a moderate C.  My mind has taken a whole different direction

Ron and Alexandra- I have actually learned more about mindfulness from you both. And you're right, it is a simple idea. Perhaps that is why it is so hard for many of us to grasp.

I believe you and I had a recent discussion about this - IF you have to constantly talk about how you're mindfull, or evolving, or self-improving - chances are it ain't happening.
