When leadership is defined not as a position you hold but as a way of being, you discover that you can lead from wherever you are. - Rosamund Stone Zander, The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life

“You must build your life as if it were a work of art…..”

I Asked for Wonder by Abraham Joshua Heschel

One of the things I love about the new elders who exemplify this kind of freedom is that they have found a new energy in their choices. I don’t mean that they are fearless or smug. I mean that they know and respect who they are and they have found a new richness in their inner growth. They have found that the second half can be about far more than the preservation of their first half; that it can be about the ripening of their finest and wisest self.

Doing one thing at a time is how one Zen Master defined the essence of Zen. Doing one thing at a time means to be total in what you do, to give it your complete attention. This is surrendered action, empowered action.

Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks
