“One is in harmony when that which one absolutely must do becomes identical to that which one most desires to do”. Maslow
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.”
Chris Gardner “… here’s the secret to success: find something you love to do so much, you can’t wait for the sun to rise to do it all over again.”
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” Steve Jobs
A recent study by two Harvard researchers suggests that peoples minds are wandering nearly half the time they are awake. Their minds were not on their current activity as much as 46.9% of the time. Those whose minds were elsewhere were decidedly unhappy. The researchers interpret these findings to mean that people who live in the moment are much happier than those who don’t. While dreaming of the past or the future may be part of the human condition, those most focused on the present are happiest.
