Grow, but not at the expense of HEART and MIND

The discovering never stops.
I have met so many new people these past months and shared ideas with them, broke bread with them, learnt from them, and hopefully, taught them as well.

I have seen how opening my eyes, ears and mind to everything resulted in my heart opening up too.
I have seen how responding to others made others more responsive to me.
I have seen how, by letting go, I gained more in ways I never even imagined.
I have, I think...I hope...become a more complete person.

So what am I trying to get at?
Simply, as business or organisational leaders or participants, remember this:
It is very easy, as you develop your career, grow in wealth and status, you do so at the expense of your heart and mind... Unfortunately for some reason, they move in opposite directions for most of us... as you grow in material success, what shrinks in tandem is your heart and your mind... the seemingly "immaterial" things!

But the irony of it is that the "immaterial heart and mind" are not immaterial at all but so critical to being truly successful... as a person... as a human being.

So keep growing, but please... not at the expense of your heart and mind.

Until next time,

Enjoy defining your reality. Make it happen!
