“Anxiety is the experience of growth itself. In any endeavor, how do you feel when you go from one stage to the next? The answer: You feel anxious. Anxiety that is denied makes us ill; anxiety that is fully confronted and fully lived through converts itself into joy, security, strength, centeredness, and character. The practical formula: Go where the pain is.” FeelsCharacterPainJoyNextGrowthAnswersStageSecurityAnxietyIllPracticalsEndeavorFormulasAnxiousDeniedCenteredness Author:Peter Koestenbaum
“Unless the distant goals of meaning, greatness, and destiny are addressed, we can't make an intelligent decision about what to do tomorrow morning -- much less set strategy for a company or for a human life. Nothing is more practical than for people to deepen themselves. The more you understand the human condition, the more effective you are as a businessperson. Human depth makes business sense.” PeopleHumansGoalDecisionCompanyDestinyMorningConditionsGreatnessTomorrowIntelligentStrategyDepthPracticalsHuman LifeHuman ConditionTomorrow MorningBusiness Sense Author:Peter Koestenbaum
