(February 2012 CEO Newsletter) By Joshua Scott Onysko
This is the year of the Dragon.
The Dragon is the only mythical creature in the Chinese Zodiac and it is the mightiest. The Dragon is a visionary. The ambition and persistence of the Dragon is unparalleled; it is unmoved by the challenges it encounters. In fact, the Dragon thrives in adversity. People born in the year of the Dragon are primed for success, but they also tend to burn the candle at both ends, leaving them with a sense of emptiness.
As we walk through this life, we often catch ourselves admiring the strengths and talents of others. As we learn and grow, we will begin to discover that life is never perfect. It will always be a practice, and this is a beautiful thing.
There is no “one thing” that can fulfill our soul…no experience, skill, or relationship can do that for us. We can feel most fulfilled when we exist solely in the present. There is great wisdom in the moment - not needing to live in the past or the future. When we realize that we cannot affect anything other than right here, right now, we start to experience something greater than any adventure.
So this year, don’t be afraid to spread your wings, breathe fire, reach for the stars, fulfill your dreams, and balance your inner Dragon. Be present. There is wisdom waiting for you in every moment.
Strength and wisdom,
Joshua Scott Onysko
