Balance

Imagine a gyroscope inside, keeping you resilient no matter what swirls around you. Put your life on course by being mentally available, physically alive, spiritually attune, and emotionally aware

Want to soar? Create balance: Organize your life around habits that support each area. Prioritize the actions that matter most to your best outcomes every day. And remember, balance takes practice.

Rick Smith Speaking On Stage

Tempo

Picture a metronome, keeping time so you can anchor your awareness to the here and now. Be present. See what’s happening in the moment. This moment, right now. Right. Now. Right. Now. Right. Now…. 

When you’re in the moment—whether through meditation, mindfulness exercises, or breathwork— you consciously participate in life. Regrets, guilt, and shame from the past, and fear, doubt, and worry from the future no longer rule. You are centered and grounded. 

Exponential impact starts with practicing balance and rhythm. Then you can add the discipline of present-moment awareness. You’ll be amazed at the new outcomes that start to emerge.

Harmony

Can you hold 2 opposing views at the same time? Can you be an optimist and a realist in every situation? I believe you can. You must, if you want exponential impact.

To create harmony, be an optimist: Know there is always an optimal outcome to every situation. Lean into this. Trust your gut. Simultaneously, be a realist: Know that if the optimal outcome doesn’t come to pass, you’ll gain a valuable lesson. Integrate the wisdom. Make it count.

Holding 2 opposing views at the same time is a paradigm shift. It is an awakened mindset. It enables conscious participation, no matter the situation. Add it to your practice of balance, rhythm, and tempo, and you are operating as a highest-level leader.—for yourself, your people, and your organization. What else is possible?
