I know I am in a good place when I start to daydream or drift from thoughts that feel urgent to more peaceful thoughts of gratitude and appreciation for things exactly as they are. This is that magical moment when you can pull your thoughts out 'to-do list' fast lane and notice that's it a beautiful day.

Have you ever taken a moment of deep gratitude for fact that your breath goes in and out and allows you to remain alive? These are moments when everyday anxiety can temporarily leave and your mind. This is where brilliance and wisdom live.

When I return to working after these meditative activities I am energized and motivated about my work, my new ideas and my life.

I have learned that ability to occasionally quiet mind is an invaluable competitive asset in any career.

Are you taking time to access your own wisdom?

Question: Can you give a real-life example?

Question: Did you write this Q & A by yourself?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And who are you?
