Stop... and Come Back Recharged

Video transcript: (sound of roaring waterfall) Hi, this is Bruce Kasanoff with another Mountain Minute. Sometimes... the best way to help other people... is to stop... don't do anything... and come back recharged.

A bit more background: Over the years, I’ve meditated off and on, and have often exercised or simply walked to clear my head. I’ve also observed that my best professional ideas come in the days right after a vacation.

So, right here and right now, I'm pledging to spend ten minutes in silent inaction every single day for the rest of this year.

Will you take this Ten-Minute Pledge with me?

I ask you this in the spirit of enlightened self-interest. The more people who take the pledge with me, the more likely I am to abide by it. But also the more people who abide by the pledge, the more people it will help.

Look around you, and you will see countless people who live in a fog. They don’t listen, they don’t understand what others are trying to communicate to them, and they don’t understand reality; instead, they operate within their own distorted sense of reality. As a result, they make a lot of bad decisions, and they miss numerous opportunities.

Here’s the really bad news: the same is true for you and me. We live in a fog, too.

Truth is, I’m not sure that ten minutes a day is enough to free either one of us from the fog, but this is a step in the right direction, and it is a modest enough commitment that – with the help of others – we can actually stick to it for this entire year.

To join me in this Ten-Minute Pledge, simply add a comment below.
