FORMULATING EQUATIONS! [don't do] The Math....

As a business person or entrepreneur, I know firsthand how tempting it is to keep score on and tabulate everything involving your career. How many people you're influencing. How wide your influence is. How many people know who you are, what you're up to and what you're about. But if you're not a journalist, and you value your mental heatlh, take my advice. Don't. Don't do ANY of that crap. If you really want to Rise Above, you've got to do the opposite, which is put all your energy and focus on YOUR work, not anyone else's, and just have faith that things will work in your favor and let the pieces fall where they may. I used to be all for sitting back and counting figures and tabulating various forms and measures of success. But the more I did that, the more the opposite happened. It caused me to STAGNATE. The energies of the universe only work for you if your entire BEING is aligned up with the energies of the universe. Meaning, you can't just want to do one thing and think another. If you want to do one thing, you're entire BEING must become that thing. Only when you are focused on your task in mind, body, and being, on ALL levels, will you EVER truly be at peace with the goals you set for yourself. It's a Zen thing.
