Each of us seeks peace of mind, but we sometimes fear that it means giving up excitement and ecstasy. Peace sounds like contentment, which sounds like settling, letting the fire go out. Actually, peace of mind allows you to go more deeply into the world and consequently to experience more excitement and ecstasy. The fire burns brighter, fueled by awareness instead of anxiety.

Insight is ‘mental vision,’ one of the ways in which the mind escapes the limits of the obvious or the familiar.

Intuition

Mind

Vision

Intuition is a combination of insight and imagination that was once attributed to spiritual communication. Mathematicians call it ‘fuzzy logic,’ drawing conclusions from vague or subjective input. The mind becomes aware without the direct intervention of reasoning. Once you can imagine something you can begin the process of creating it. Executives use intuition to make many product, investment, and hiring decisions, even if they deny it. Success in business may depend on an accurate gut.

Learning how to respond to and master the process of change – and even to excel at it – is a critical leadership skill for the twenty-first century. Constant, rapid change will be a fact of life for all of us.

Nostalgia is also a trait of the organizations that I call lodges – everything from corporate cultures to religious sects. Their bonding power often exceeds loyalty to family or country because they create intimacy through shared ideals and beliefs, ceremonies, stories, and legends, and depend on it for their survival. The message is clear: Don’t question what we’re doing. Just appreciate how long we’ve been doing it.

One of the things that adds tension to our lives is small frustrations. Losing car keys can give you a panic attack. Not being able to find a comb when you get out of the shower, losing scissors and nail clippers, can make you fight with your roommate. The problem is that we think that these things are not supposed to happen to us. And that’s what makes us tense. We think we can avoid these frustrations by making ourselves and others be more careful. I like to take the opposite tack-to assume that these things are a part of life and that they will happen no matter what.

Fighting

Frustration

Thinking

People are beginning to realize that self-knowledge is not an end in itself. It’s for the purpose of better relationships, so that we can give to our community. You can give from overflow. It’s very hard to give from emptiness. . . . People who avoid self-knowledge cause a great deal of pain to themselves as well as to their families and friends.
