Business Buddhism

The limiting factor for us to act wisely is mindfulness. Not age, not experience, not hair-color, not opportunity, not education, not religious affiliation, not title and authority, not luck, not gender, not skin-color, not yoga certifications, not how little or much we’ve been hurt in the past.

“There is no path to wisdom, wisdom is the path.” Siddhartha Gautama, a.k.a. the Buddha.

In every moment we choose our response to our circumstances. Wisdom is not a stage we can get to and then hang out in it as if lying in a hammock. It’s an every moment practice. No need to wait for different circumstances, resources or power. Nor do we need to wait to develop into a more mature and better person. In this moment you choose not to click on the stupid-ass link on Huffington Post about Jennifer Anniston wearing a very short dress – those never live up to my expectations, but instead you are reading this supremely nourishing blog. It requires our attention, right now!
