It's not so much: "Creating value in our lives and work requires the courage to delay immediate gratification" To me even more important: it requires time out to reflect. It requires times to allow the brain to rest so mind/body/spirit can from the quiet place within imagine the impossible...and create it. Ozzie Mindfulness.com

Would you please give me a time when the world was manageable? When has it ever been manageable?
A statement from along the Camino that goes beyond food and is a good metaphor for Life: You order what you order; and you get what you get.
I don't learn from my experiences. I learn from my interpretations of my experiences. Always have. Always will be. No matter what I order, I get what I get. In work my measure of performance is: Performance.
I heard years ago a quote that has stayed with me: Be a non-anxious presence in an anxious world.
There are a number of wonderful speakers to listen to from this February conference; Wisdom 2.0. I am wondering: Did my Wisdom 1.0 hold some awarenesses that I wasn't ready to hear?
Truth be told the only think/thing I can manage is myself, and often I do a poor job at it. This is where many of the speakers share what they do to create their non-anxious presence.
I know that anxiety and fear drive out my innovation and creativity. This is where a mindful approach begins. It is the spaces between the words and the quiet between the musical notes and the meditation, naps, breaks, vacations, more sleep between work and the "unmanageable" world that allow me to create what was never there before.
Wisdom 2.0 is about technology. From the mind/brain barrier: Am I creating signal or noise?
Maybe we are getting back to Wisdom-Ground Zero. A man of knowledge learns something everyday. A man of wisdom gives up something everyday.
And how did you labor your thinking on this Labor Day weekend?
