Spirituality & the Corporate world

Spirituality is a BIG business - for instance, just look at the $$$ reaped in by the popularity of the "Secret" or the "New Earth".

I am however having a challenging time trying to fit my spirituality into the Corporate world. Each attempt I was reminded by the horror of my experience in business school. There was once in a business class, the instructor asked "what are we all striving for?" and when he looked at my direction, I answered "self actualization - be the very best that we can & each one of us is different in terms of our potential". Laughter bursted out across the room - of course encouraged by the smug instructor who responded "this is a business class, not a psych class".

So, when my boss asked me to think of goals that I would like to set for myself for the upcoming fiscal year - I doubt that my plan of "going with the flow of the Universe and let myself be pleasantly surprised" is not going to fly.
