I often wonder about karma and yoga and how popular of a term and activity is has become in the west. If someone does something to hurt you you may say "karma has a great way of getting back." Or if one gets asked the question what do you do for fun and if the answer is not yoga then you are not "cool."
What is it about the west that takes something cultural and re-create it to be "western" for a profit?Ah....marketing! Marketing has revolutionized the west into a creative mosaic that's just genius. There has been countless of self help books to help one discover their "true gift and uniqueness" so as to make their ways of making money to be self fulfilled.
Now is this just karma or does the marketing phenomenon really change lives and create abundance and affluence?
I am a commerce graduate and if it wasn't for my exposure into this area of study I would not have concluded that one needs to learn the skills to be a marketer as this is the underpinning of monetary success. Yes, many times in the workforce it is who you know but it is also how you market yourself. Take for example the entertainment business or more specifically Hollywood a multi billion dollar industry where its very mantra is marketing.
Now learning the skills is one thing but yes what about karma? Could it be holding us back from abundance and affluence?
So what do I say: love, pray and market!
