Stay present, avoid future fear

Yeah, I read the Thich Nhat's article on " Zen in workplace". His philosophy is that if people are happy, the organization will be successful. The success of an organization is not earning as much money as possible or to be number one always. But, the parameter in everyone's mind is to be number one and to earn as much profit as possible instead of keeping the zen spirit in the working environment. All the management gurus are preaching the same " be number 1". I agreed that meditation will keep us aware of the present environment instead of running around or working ceaselessly and keep our mind occupied with our work all the time, running from one project to the next. Searching for ways to make more profit and neglect our family or balance our working life. If we slow and comtemplate, we will realized that half of our life is gone searching for success. In the future, there are alot of uncertainties and if we do not change or move forward, we will be grip with fear. The fear of losing and dying. Hence, to be in the present will make us aware and to thread cautiously and staying alert for danger. The measurement of happiness have various parometers and it is different from one person to another. But, all of us have one common need, is to be happy. If running around working makes a person happy , then by all means keep to that routine. But, stop once awhile to measure that happiness. Whether you are really happy or not or you refuse to think about happiness or do not know that you can be happier. Slow down, relax, sit back , calm down and silent your mind via meditation, then you will be more conscious of what is lacking in your life or what do you need. This is only a simple exercise but it can bring great benefits to your mind and your body. Namaste.
