Speaker 1 (00:00):
Clyde leg Dennis Here and today in our seven Good
Minutes extra segment, we're reflecting on this wisdom. True productivity
flows from the well spring of inner piece, not from
the pressure of endless doing. This quote speaks to a
fundamental misunderstanding in our culture about where real effectiveness comes from.

(00:20):
We've been taught that productivity is about pushing harder, doing more,
squeezing every moment for maximum output. But this approach is
like trying to draw water from a dry well. Eventually
you'll come up empty. The wellspring metaphor is beautiful because
it reminds us that sustainable productivity has a source. That

(00:40):
source is an external pressure, deadlines, or the fear of
not being enough. It's the deep, renewable resource of inner piece,
that calm center within you that remains steady regardless of
external circumstances. When you operate from this well spring, your
actions have a different quality. They're not driven by anxiety
or the need to prove yourself. They flow from a

(01:03):
place of clarity about what truly matters. You work not
because you have to, but because you choose to, and
that choice comes from alignment with your deeper values and purposes.
Think about the times in your life when you've been
most effective. Chances are you weren't frantically busy or stressed out.
You were probably calm, focused and clear about what needed

(01:24):
to be done. You were drawing from your well spring
rather than running on empty. This doesn't mean you never
feel challenged or that everything is always easy. It means
you approach challenges from a grounded place rather than a
reactive one. You respond to pressure rather than being crushed
by it. The pressure of endless doing creates a kind

(01:45):
of productivity that's ultimately unsustainable. It might work for short bursts,
but it leads to burnout, mistakes, and a deep sense
of dissatisfaction. The wellspring of peace, on the other hand,
is renewable. The more you draw from it mindfully, the
deeper it becomes. Here's something to reflect on. What would

(02:06):
change in your daily life if you trusted that your
most important work flows from peace rather than pressure. And
here's an affirmation to carry with you. I trust the
wellspring of peace within me to guide my actions and
fuel my most meaningful work Until next time. I'm Clydeleie
