Is it possible to bridge our spiritual principles and practices successfully into the workplace?
This is a conversation worth having within the Men’s Fellowship Network. There are countless resources available that speak to spirituality in the workplace and personal success.

Minding Our Business explores the application of universal, spiritual principles in business to expand both individually and organizationally the desire to vision, the willingness to implement and the capacity to manifest joyful, creative and collaborative environments where everyone feels honored and valued, to engender an urgency to live and work from the place of sufficiency, both inwardly and outwardly becoming cause to the increased wellbeing of all concerned. We will share a paradigm of value based conscious leadership that unites rather than divides, by exploring commonly faced business challenges in a way that guarantees an increase in both the qualitative and quantitative bottom line. We’ll feature interviews with business leaders who are already implementing spiritual based solutions and strategies. We’ll also focus on personal best practices including a take away for the week, along with the opportunity for you to ask questions and share your Workplace Wins!

“7 Spiritual Laws of Success” by Deepak Chopra complete audio book:
1. The Law of Pure Potentiality: Take time to be silent, to just BE. Meditate for 30 minutes twice a day. Silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. Practice non-judgment.
2. The Law of Giving: Today, bring whoever you encounter a gift: a compliment or flower. Gratefully receive gifts. Keep wealth circulating by giving and receiving care, affection, appreciation and love.
3. The Law of Karma: Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. Choosing actions that bring happiness and success to others ensures the flow of happiness and success to you.
4. The Law of Least Effort: Accept people, situations, and events as they occur. Take responsibility for your situation and for all events seen as problems. Relinquish the need to defend your point of view.
5. The Law of Intention and Desire: Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment. Make a list of desires. Trust that when things don’t seem to go your way, there is a reason.
6. The Law of Detachment: Allow yourself and others the freedom to be who they are. Do not force solutions—allow solutions to spontaneously emerge. Uncertainty is essential, and your path to freedom.
7. The Law of Dharma: Seek your higher Self. Discover your unique talents. Ask yourself how you are best suited to serve humanity. Using your unique talents and serving others brings unlimited bliss and abundance.
