“One of the great errors organizations make is shutting down what is a natural, life-enhancing process-chaos. We are terrified of chaos. As a manager, it signals failure. But if you move out of control and into an appreciation of natural order, you understand that the only way a system changes is when it is far from equilibrium, when it moves from the 'quiet' we treasure and is confronted with the choice to die or reorganize. And you can't reorganize to a higher level unless you risk the perils of the path through chaos.” IfsWayMovingOrderDiesChoicesProcessNaturalLevelsPathRiskHigherQuietOrganizationErrorsChaosAppreciationTreasureManagersTerrifiedSignalsPerilEquilibriumHigher LevelNatural OrderNatural LifeShutting DownSystems Change Author:Margaret J.

“Meditation gives you two things: equanimity and creativity. And it does that by taking one from their conscious mind, where there's all that noise and chaos and so on, into the subconscious mind where there's quiet and where creativity emanates from. You have a mantra, and when you repeat it over and over again, all those thoughts go away because you shift them to that mantra. And then eventually that sound disappears, and then you're left not conscious or unconscious - you're left in this subconscious state, and by opening that up, first of all you get control of it.” GivingMindCreativityMeditationQuietConsciousChaosDisappearUnconsciousGoing AwaySubconsciousEquanimitySubconscious Mind Author:Ray Dalio
