Horseback riding is an art. Sure, in a Gymkhana, its a rather intense activity which blends speed and skill. As one, your horse and you swivel and swerve through obstacles while precious seconds go by.

"One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power.” Anthony Robbins Shine your torch well.

In an intensely competitive and, occasionally, unforgiving business environment, it has never been more important to maximise our efficiency so ensuring we maintain pace with the demands the world appears to impose upon us. As a useful tool to aid our own time management and productivity many of us use ‘To Do lists'. In a recent conversation, however, I was reminded of the pitfalls that can come when these lists are allowed to manage us - instead of vice versa.

I grew up hearing that “no question was stupid” or “the question NOT asked was an opportunity missed”. I heard it all the way through school and college and even through graduate school. It was no surprise when I heard these same words echo out of my mouth to my own two little girls. I know now that when a parent says it to a child it is actually two pronged.

There are times in our spiritual journey when we find ourselves grappling with the most intense inner conflicts. Rather than confront them, we would sometimes prefer to hide under the covers.
