Conserving Jing Essence

[Lynn]

It is rare to find people that conserve Jing Essence. One appears to
stay home more then others, and becomes a loner.
I find it so sad that so many of todays institutions abuse the jing of
their employees, volunteers and students. Burn-out is so common.
Life expectancy has increased with vacinations, medical intervention
and machinery. But it is as empty as our huge nitrogen fertilized
vegetables. It looks good on the outside but has no nutrients or
taste.
Working for oneself is the only way one can control one's schedule.
Even then one can get tricked. For example I had a contract with an
Accounting Firm to give one day on-site 30 minute stress relief
massage. Well the women who organized the event sent me 15 people to
work on. I had made specific limitations that were completely
ignored. The employees really needed the work. How could I turn them
away?
When one starts a business one must hustle. When capital is low one
must take on second jobs to maintain a positive cash flow.
Keeping expenses to a raw minimum and living simply really helps.
How do the members of this group handle these difficulties?
