Peace of Mind To

How Peace of Mind Arises from Mutual Understanding Don’t Die with Your Music Still In You . » Opens the 15th of each month. “ Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” ~ Rumi We ended last time with the idea that peace of mind is found by embracing paradox. On that note, we’re headed back — since we left some meat on the bone. Let’s explore a few familiar paradoxes: Expectations Sam Walton: “High expectations are the key to everything.” Shakespeare: “Expectation is the root of all heartache.” Who's right? Both. High expectations can pull us to greatness — and they may cause heartache. Peace arises from learning to manage expectations. Ego Ryan Holiday: “Ego is the enemy.” Charlie Munger: “Never underestimate the man who overestimates himself.” So which is it? Is ego the problem… or the secret weapon? Yes. Ego can destroy you — and propel you. It depends. Customer-Centricity Sales guru: “You must know what the customer wants!” Steve Jobs, channeling Henry Ford: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Which is it? Do you follow the customer… or lead them? Yes. Innovation moves on instinct — and listens to the customer. Compromise “Never compromise!” “Relationships are built on compromise.” Can both be true? Yes. Compromise is how bridges are built. “The highest form of maturity is interdependence.”— Dr. Stephen Covey Peace demands discernment, not dogma. This is an invitation to sit with the opposition and the tension. This is the art of holistic understanding. It is not about being indecisive — it’s about being OPEN . “He who confronts the paradoxical exposes himself to reality.”— Friedrich Dürrenmatt See you in the field. This is a public episode.
