  • Equanimity is the Ultimate Objectivity

    Practicing an attitude of equanimity is a huge strategic advantage in expanding the results you seek in life. Equanimity is a significant business and professional advantage because it has us make far better decisions than without it.

    Think of equanimity as the ultimate objectivity – a state of mind where you can simply ALLOW ANY situation that presents itself – without judging it as good or bad.

    Try it on. Think of a situation that *feels* good. Now, see if you can simply move to a place in your mind where the situation feels neither good nor bad.

    Now think of a situation that *feels* bad. Have the feeling, but allow yourself to view the situation with no emotion if you can. It just is. From that place, all actions are available.

    Equanimity promotes balanced thinking and supports wiser, better well-considered choices. How does observing the world with more equanimity appeal to you? How possible is it for you?

  • Keeping a Balanced, Healthy Perspective About Money

    Money is a highly-charged topic. In our culture where people are often judged by their net worths and their possessions, it may been hard to keep a balanced, healthy perspective about money.

    There is a tremendous belief system of money myths ranging from the old Puritan point of view that wealth was proof that God favored a person . . . to the view that one can’t be both wealthy and a good person . . . and that it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than to enter heaven.

    Do you believe that money can co-exist with goodness? Does money always corrupt? Is the love of money actually the root of all evil?

    What have been your money myths? Are there aspects of your early training at an impressionable age that no longer serve you?

    Money, like anything else can be used for good or ill. How have your myths about money had you use it in your personal and business lives?
