In the global economy, events on the other side of the world can impact our local offices. The interconnected nature of the economy means our international partners and suppliers may be vulnerable to conflicts, political instability, and natural disasters. Software critical to our operations could have a home office in a war-impacted country. Essential materials or components could be unavailable based on infrastructure destruction due to a disastrous flood. Worst of all, our colleagues and partners could have direct ties to these distant locations, creating emotional stress and distractions that negatively impact their work. [Read more…]

Allowing yourself to get wrapped up in the stress and anxiety of a busy life leaves no room to live in the moment, and no room to see any situation for what it truly is. [Read more…]

If you find yourself mastering meditation more quickly, you may progress your time more quickly as well. [Read more…]
