From a surprising source…
“The internet radically redefines a person’s psychological relationship to time and space. Attention is riveted on what is tangible, useful, instantly available; the stimulus for deeper thought and reflection may be lacking. Yet human beings have a vital need for time and inner quiet to ponder and examine life and its mysteries.”
“Understanding and wisdom are the fruit of a contemplative eye upon the world, and do not come from a mere accumulation of facts, no matter how interesting.”
That’s a quote from Pope John Paul II and I think he’s right.
You will be a better person, and a more valuable employee, if you carve out time, every day, to just sit quietly and contemplate.
I hope you — and your boss — understand this…
