We are uncomfortable in our bodies when attention is fixated on its fate. Our opportunity for happiness is great when we forget about ourselves, when we merge into the energy surrounding us.
Beautifully phrased, much like Seneca's "Your face will cease to be its present picture of sadness as soon as you take your eyes off yourself."
Do you take office work to home???? Here are some tips for "Leaving work at work" explained well in HBR articles. Some jobs have very clear lines between when you’re “on” and when you’re “off” while in others the lines are blurred — or potentially nonexistent. That makes not being distracted by work, especially mentally, a major challenge. But you can reduce how distracted you feel by work during times when you’re not working. First, define what “after hours” means for you, considering personal commitments like your commute and family obligations. Next, have mental clarity about what needs to get done and when you will do it. Then, communicate with your colleagues about how (or if) you want to be contacted in your off hours. Finally, do your work at work. If you must bring it home with you, define select hours to work, and don’t let yourself think of work outside of that time period.
Brilliant break down of the mental headspace required to partition ones time efficiently.

Self-examination was part of the daily practice of meditation. The aim was to notice, and repent of, one’s sins in thought, word and deed.

Virtual organizations require frequent and continuous assessment of goals and corporate objective than conventional organizations.
This is a salient point. A virtual organization is like a jungle. It is all too easy to lose sight of the goal and start wandering in circles. Therefore, some sort of constant auditing process needs to be in place to ensure that the tasks are still relevant to the initial goals.
A lot of people look at what they want to do with rose-tinted spectacles of who they are and what’s realistically achievable for them. They design idealistic plans and actions that rely on them being their aspirational self – rather than their real self (or worst self). I don’t take an over-optimistic view of getting things done – I design systems that work even on my worst days.
I have a tendency to do this. I keep aspiring to do bigger things once I reach a certain ideal, but I never do and so I just procrastinate away from achieving that ideal as a form of self-sabotage. It's such a foolish mechanism for self-sabotage

Overcoming the overwhelming reluctance to waken from slumber.
Every man is rich in excuses to safeguard his prejudices, his instincts, and his opinions.
In seeking knowledge one should strive to be poor in those particular faculties. Do not trust your prejudices, your instincts nor your opinions.
I saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
