Seeing Perfection without Judgment
Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them. Leo Tolstoy Do we hold a vision of perfection in our life? Taking in an exquisite sunset, gazing at the ocean waves, smelling pine trees in a forest, gives us a feeling or sense of perfection and beauty. We can experience perfection when we watch a child laugh and play, or as we complete an exciting project we worked on. Yet there are many times when perfection seems like a far off dream; something we can't quite grasp. We become caught up in the struggle of a situation, or frustrated because someone else doesn't seem to live up to our expectations. We may criticize our self because we are not attractive enough, funny enough, bright enough, or as resourceful as we think we should be.

Moving Forward: Developing Countries
There are many economic, social, and environmental challenges along the path to sustainable development, and there is no panacea to address them all.

Exiting Gracefully: It’s Complicated!
Learning the art of exiting gracefully is challenging because Emotions supersede Intellect and Ego beats the crap out of Common Sense. This is why break-ups are hard and, unfortunately in some cases, filled with bad things like strife and tacky drama coupled with collateral damage-all for the sake of SOMEONE needing to “be right.” In the worst workplace situations, the "being right" need commonly manifests itself in ungraceful exits. We see this when people: •Submit their notice and then go on a ‘negativity campaign’ about anything and everyone •Submit their notice and make a concerted effort not to work another day for two weeks •Not submit a notice and not return or send an email stating yesterday was their last day •Commit acts of violence that we see in the news headlines
