Tao of Leadship: How to Create a Self-Lead Team
How to Slap Self-Entitled People In the Scrotum - Backhanded

Zen Koan: What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Zen Koan: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
A: Ego.
If you clap with both hands, no one will see you as extraordinary.
If you can produce the siddhis of clapping with one hand, you can certainly clap with neither.
If you clapped with neither hand, people would acknowledge that a siddhis has occurred but would not know it was you.
The sound of one hand clapping is ego.

Desire: Wanting Something Badly Will Make Getting it Go Badly - Harvard
Daniel Gilbert, PhD, of Harvard points to Alex Rodriguez as the posterboy of how hard it is to get something you really want. He and everyone else seems to agree that if there wasn't so much pressure on the number 600, Rodriguez would have already hit far past that number. His explanation is solid: When you really want something badly, you tend to focus in on it.
For complex mechanical tasks like math and car repair, focus and concentration is necessary. But for more intuitive and spontaneous events like sparking a romantic conversation or hitting a 100mph ball, myopic concentration is crippling.
In Tai Chi and Kung Fu, the ultimate goal is to move with intention, not desire; to act with fluidity, not tension. To do so, whether you are behind a plate, a boardroom table, deadly combat for the "Green Destiny," or locked eye contact with the most beautiful human being you've ever laid eyes on, let your training take over and just be the objective observer.

If that doesn't work, train, train, train again until it does.

Are The Unwanted Cycles In Your Life Caused by Childhood Mental Shackles? Inspiration Contemplation and a Meditation
Lessons I learned from a Zen Master
You know what I'm talking about. Your best friend keeps dating the same kind of loser. You brother keeps getting fired. A neighbor keeps getting DUIs. And some dude named Steve keeps making a quarter billion dollars every time he release some new product without any buttons.
What the heck keeps us in these cycles of success or failure? Steve Jobs went to India for a few years before starting Apple with Wozniak. I turned to Korean Daoism. This is what I learned about what keeps you in vortex cycles:

A Spiritual Person's Path to Business Success - The Meditation
A mate leaves their lover saying, "I'm not happy anymore."
Then, in their emptiness, they soon realize that they were indeed happy. They had everything they needed. So the mate betrays fullness for the excitement of filling emptiness.
In business, you might do the same.
There is a saying, "If you are frustrated, lower your dreams (or raise your skills)" - Taoism
You pursue a new client, a new market, or a new sector at the risk of losing what you've already built. You may even quit your job prematurely to start a business. Children climb up stairs for the excitement of sliding back down again. This is often called the "perspective of scarcity" or "mutually exclusive thinking."
To be fair, there is a joy in seeing growth. The trouble happens when you unconsciously let what you've already grown suffer for it.
There is a saying, "If you are frustrated, lower your dreams (or raise your skills)"
If there's a yin way to solve a problem, there is also a yang way. There is a core cause of loss and destruction in both business and love. It's easy to blame what's already in the bowl for crippling your ability to collect more. The hard part, the path of a successful person, is to keep what you have and simply enlarge your bowl (Next: How to Enlarge Your "Bowl": - Practical Taoism for Business )

The Tao of Tough Decisions - Making them Wisely (Lessons I Learned from a Taoist Master)
"If you are faced with a choice between this or that, how many choices do you have?" the Master asked.
"If you are faced with a choice between this or that, how many choices do you have?" the Master asked.
I knew it was a trick question. Every question he asks is a trick question. Mahayana and Zen Buddhists would call them Zen Koans or Riddles.
"Three!" I guessed out of my ass.
"Four." the Master said without appearing to have heard my answer at all.
"Four." the Master said without appearing to have heard my answer at all.
"If you are faced with the choice of a sports car or an economy car, thinking you only have those two options, you choose the sports car. Every time you drive the sports car, you will feel guilty."
The Master Continued, "If you had chosen the economy car, every time you drive it, you feel frustrated."
I was dumbfounded.
I was dumbfounded.
"Buy both, this is your third choice," the Master said.
I was as puzzled as I was enlightened. I immediately realized that so many of my life decisions were destined to bring me guilt or frustration from the moment I made a choice. But before I could take the first step down memory lane, the Master hit me with another revelation.
"If you are faced with the choice of a Susan or Sara, thinking those are your only options, you choose Susan. Every moment you stay with Susan, you miss Sara. Every discomfort Susan brings you, you resent Susan. You have already lost Susan and Sara from the moment you made your choice.
In this case, use your fourth option. Choose neither. When true love comes, you will have no choice."
