Thought of the day by Charles Handy on balancing a working life with a spiritual existence. Handy uses the backdrop of the Olympic Games to articulate a central message on the contemporary times people live in, where the pressures to succeed can mean fame or fortune, while to fail means to drop out and fade off. Handy proceeds to discuss how having too narrow a commitment and vision of success may cause people to lose their balance, way, and sense of truth, all of which can become too associated and tied to what others are doing. He concludes that people must leave their own busyness from time to time to meditate, reflect, and reconnect with God and the stillness within.
