I heard a fascinating speaker this week that turned my world upside down -- in a very good way. His name is Wayne Muller. His new book is called A Life of Being, Having and Doing Enough. Doesn't the title alone make you want to let out a big sigh of relief?

The Discovery 
Wayne has spent decades working with people from all over the world: All income levels. All ages. All types of leaders. He's discovering that for the most part they "feel overwhelmed, and what is required of them transcends any realistic human scale or possibility...nothing ever feels like enough...the shear pace and volume of their lives seems to corrode whatever joy, wonder, nourishment or delight they may find in simply doing their best."

The Quote That Stopped Me In My Tracks
Wayne writes, "To relentlessly force the tender wisdom, thoughtful reflection, and perceptive honesty of the human heart to conform to the ridiculously impossible, inhuman speed of the world, to its ever-increasing mind-driven technologies, is to cause violence to our most precious and valuable treasure -- the necessary guidance of the human heart. "

The gifts of the human heart require slowing the mind down and being present. A life without a deep connection to the wisdom of the heart is shallow and consuming.
