And like seeds, whatever we grow becomes part of our network, part of the environment around us. What are you growing? Is it beneficial to the world?

Why mindfulness? Because being mindful, or living in the present, prevents us from worrying about the past and future. Living in the here and now focuses us. It mitigates stress. It allows us to celebrate life and realize that what we have is this moment and that making the most of this moment is making the most of life.
The answer to sustainably reducing your stress lies in a simple shift in perception. When you become aware of how you’re impacting others, you can inspire people to be innovative and productive. And your business and families can thrive.
Most people will experience a huge level of stress as they are reaching a new level of development. The reason we feel this stress is because we feel out of control. And usually, we feel out of control because we haven’t discerned what the threat is. You might think the threat is economics—will the stock […]
When we first moved to the Great Sage Plains of Colorado, the sacred ancient grounds of the Ute, Anasazi and Hopi, we decided to live as sustainably as possible, making as little impact as possible. One of our first considerations was water, namely how to find it in this arid high desert. It was a […]
If our strategy to achieving work-life balance is to figure out how to allocate the same amount of time and effort to the various areas of our lives, something or someone is going to get shortchanged. Usually us.
No matter how successful you are, there is always a surprise around the corner. Having the ability to interpret the business environment differently is an empowering skill for leaders who no longer want to fear the shifting earth beneath every business and react to this reality with less stress.
In the dispute over whether a selfie can belong to a monkey, the monkey lost. The U.S. Copyright Office decided that the selfies a group of Indonesian macaques snapped belong to no one.

Brains are constructed to mitigate risk and are committed entirely to survival. So what do we do in the world we experience right now, where we have to be practical, creative and […]
Sure, there are days when I need to remind myself not to take things (or myself) so seriously. After all, my old “method of operation” muscle–the safety of “knowing”–became very strong. So, yes, I still practice at fun.
What does play look like if you (like so many adults) have difficulty connecting to your sense of play? A few years ago I probably couldn’t have answered that question. I’d become so work-driven I lost my sense of play.A coach I hired gave me an exercise. She said, “I want you to give me a […]

We frequently invest in making ourselves more beautiful and attractive from the outside. Upkeep can be exhausting. This is your chance to find yourself and make that same kind of transformation from the inside.
If there is a lack of success in your life, chances are there’s a lack of trust. Invest in building trust—in yourself and all your relationships. It gives trust fund a whole new meaning.
