Nothing is permanent, all is eternal

Think of nothing as being permanent…

And your sorrow will fly away…

And your problems will vanish with the sunset…

And your obstacles will look so small…

 

Think of everything as being eternal…

And you will be aware that your victory is eternal…

And you will learn that all you do inspires others…

And you will realize your obstacles are there as lessons to be learnt…

 

By doing that, instead of sorrow, happiness will come in.

And instead of getting worried by problems or obstacles, you will celebrate your victory or learn the lesson.

And most important, you will be a hero, a heroine that will inspire many others to realize that nothing is permanent.

All is eternal.

A leader’s clock is always ticking, but with no pressure - Reason 57

Time harasses people, or it looks that way when it is a Monday morning or Friday evening and people rush and rush, from everywhere to anywhere.  Add to that 24 hours news and entertainment, cheap communication tools and an endless exploration of the world, and we have a population that is busier than its ancestors.

This sense of ‘busyness’ has become the source of illness, as shown in an article[1] by blogger Scott Dannemiller, giving a general sense of powerlessness to people, as they are not able to fulfil a basic to-do list or to finish reading all the books on the shelf; after all, people are ‘too busy’ to do that.

For a leader, time is just a tool and so does not take the form of a burden.  This healthy relationship with omnipresent time gives her or him a more relaxed view of the world.  Besides, leaders have a competitive edge over other type of people, because they live without tension and so they can pay better attention to their duty, work or project.
