My underground ride to the hedge fund where I'm working today was an interesting one. I was standing on the platform waiting for the side past times side train. I was thinking nearly something I had read on the educate ride from Connecticut to the city. The gist of what I read was that, inwards biblical times, people worshiped past times sacrificing animals. Today our worship tin plow over notice stimulate got a dissimilar form: past times sacrificing our brute needs too desires too using them for spiritual increase too development. Thus, for instance, I tin plow over notice run every bit a trading omnibus to accumulate coin too textile things, or I tin plow over notice run to move out a meaningful business office of people's too exercise the coin earned to improve my trouble solid unit of measurement too the world. It's non that nosotros struggle against our brute nature; it's that nosotros tame it, raise it, too straight it wisely. We tin plow over notice swallow for gluttony or nosotros tin plow over notice swallow for health.
So that's what I was thinking nearly standing on the underground platform. H5N1 miss walked inwards front end of me listening to music on headphones too bopping about. She too then turned around, walked inwards front end of me again, too kept grooving to the music. By the tertiary fourth dimension she did this, I felt a niggling distracted, a niggling annoyed.
The educate stopped, nosotros got on, too Ms. Headphones continued to bop on the train. I was going to sit down down, but I noticed a human lying downward on the seat. He was noticeably muddied too smelled bad. My impression was that he was a homeless person. I stood nearby but chose to non sit down side past times side to the man.
Ms. Headphones, notwithstanding dancing to her music too smiling, took off the shawl she was wearing too wrapped it around the man. She too then offered him a slice of gum. He looked upwards bleary eyed, took the shawl off of himself, wadded it up, too used it every bit a pillow. She looked at me, nosotros both smiled, too she continued her dance.
So I'm reading too thinking nearly using the animal/material footing to arrive at a higher purpose, but this miss was truly living the lesson. Out of her happiness--her dance--she freely gave of herself, oblivious to the man's appearance too smell.
Authenticity is nearly living our truths, non but talking them or studying them.
How authentic is your trading?
If someone watched you lot trade, would they know what your plans were for the day? Would they know what you lot were working on?
There is talking the utter too in that place is walking the walk. If nosotros are non authentic inwards our trading--actually acting on our beliefs too understandings--all our plans too magazine entries are empty. There is a profound message inwards the immature woman's actions: nosotros notice our authenticity when nosotros alive our joy too nosotros notice joy when nosotros are who nosotros are meant to be.
