I am in the very fortunate position of being surrounded by an exceptional group of people.

On the desk of one of my team members is this quote by the Dalai Lama, when asked about what surprised him the most about humanity:

"Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die; and then dies having never really lived."

Contrast this with a recent AMP advertisement that suggests that you only really start living when you retire! If this is true then we are wasting close to 60 yrs of our lives.

Upon reading the Dalai Lama's quote it focused me towards what is really important in our lives. Is your business delivering you the happiness you want? Is it allowing you to live now or are you waiting for retirement?
