quote

• spirituality is not even a fourth pillar of sustainability,
  • but is instead the foundation upon which the pillars of
    • people,
    • planet and
    • profit
  • must be constructed.
• To succeed on the triple bottom line,
  • we must build a strong spiritual foundation.
• To do that, we must look inwards.

comment

• We could express this succinctly in a new phrase:
  • The bottom line of the triple bottom line is spirituality

• I think if we stripped away
  • the social stigma and
  • stereotypes,
• we would find that most people have some personal beliefs about
  • life,
  • death and
  • the universe
• that could be considered spiritual.
• In fact, I would bet that
  • the number of people who never wonder about any of these things would be close to zero.
• Spirituality then, is really the exploration of the other half of life
  • that our society isn’t comfortable exploring.
• And that’s where it gets interesting.

• The problem is that in rejecting the dogma,
• we too have created dogma.
• A dogma that shuts down our natural human inclination to explore the mysteries of life,
  • of our own inner worlds and
  • of our deep connection to nature and each other.

• spirituality
• business
• comfortable

• I have to admit that it feels uncomfortable even writing this. Somehow we need to get comfortable talking about spirituality.
