The wisdom of the challenge
August 11th, 2008 by Ingrid Cliff
I was reading the Modern Goddess (online) blog and came across this quote from Eckhart Tolle.
“When you face a challenge truly, there is no thought. There is just the looking… you see what needs to be solved at that moment, and that looking is fierce and gentle at the same time. And there is an activation of a greater intelligence than whatever you have learned.”
– Eckhart Tolle
This is very true. Today I was working with a business that is in massive debt. The Directors need to stop and take stock first – deciding within their hearts if they have it within themselves to do what needs to be done to turn their business around. Are they up to the challenge of a business turnaround?
Only once they have made a decision with their emotions to stay or go will they be able to truly face the process of doing what needs to be done.
This is not an easy process for many businesses, but if tackled honestly they will be able to face all challenges with wisdom and heart and will get better outcomes as a result.
Until next time

What a great quote. I think that sums up some of the feelings we are having in regard to the sale of our business – once the decision has been reached – then things seem to flow.
