"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion." --Abraham Lincoln
Practicing Spiritual Capitalism
Art DeLorenzo, a 67-year-old retired financial adviser, and I were having a hard time connecting. Several appointments we set were moved or missed, but we kept trying. Late one evening, as we settle on yet another date for our interview, DeLorenzo threw out a comment that would prove as valuable as anything he said in our hour-long phone call days later. "Wait a moment." DeLorenzo paused. "I could say 3 p.m., but the group I'll be meeting with before you, they tend to run over. It's just their habit, but I know this. So I'd rather not book you right up against them. I don't want to compromise the integrity of my commitment to them." This insightful article from Ode Magazine delves into spiritual capitalism -- in which doing good and making money don't have to be at odds.
BE THE CHANGE
If you have an income right now, consider how you can increasingly align this way of "making money" with "doing good."
