More important than academic brilliance is our ability to love, our deep sense of connection. When we stop often enough to feel this connection, we will naturally begin to nourish ourselves and others. Because in our hearts we know. We all sense what is best for us, in each and every moment. And I can tell you right now, it is not to rush from one thing to another. I'm sure of it. At least not when it's done at the cost of our health, our children, our partners in life or our own sense of presence and fulfillment. It's amazing how much more can be done when it's done from awareness and trust. The "doing" just happens then, without force, without a fight, without struggle. There is no race. No need to get anywhere. Only a sense of living a great life of joy and love, of keen initiative and great creative passion. The rest can then happen of its own accord.
