GETTING THE MIX RIGHT

 

Would you know a CEO from a Junior Assistant on the beach?  

Probably not. At the beach, status is irrelevant, judgment of

others non existent.  People dress (or undress) for comfort.

Their priority is peace and relaxation. Everyone is equal and the

simple needs of life reign supreme.

 

What a difference when we get to our work place. 

Status, judgment and dress become the priority.

Peace and relaxation are seen as counter-productive.

Complexity becomes a profit-generating challenge. 

Stress, pressure and change are the norm.

 

 

 

Which is right?  Where does life say we should be?  Perhaps you would say the beach. Others love the

stimulus of work. I think both are right. Life is about getting the mix right, generating a harmonious blend

of pressure and relaxation, stress and peace, calm and storm, agony and ecstasy.

 

A satisfying life masters the yin and the yang, the energy in and the energy out,

the harmony of mutually-supportive, complementary-opposite experiences.
