Awards ceremonies, diplomas, honor rolls, first-place medals, promotions, pay raises, scholarships-these are just some of the ways that our society recognizes and rewards achievement. It is often what motivates us, the carrot at the end of the stick. When we search for a quiet corner, there is no tangible carrot awaiting us. And we're not being graded. No one is watching.
We enter the stream alone and report back only to ourselves. The rewards are quiet, subtle ones-no marching bands. When we keep at it, those we love will share in the benefits without perhaps even knowing how or why. Let your quiet corner be a place where you commune with yourself and, if it works for you, with your higher power. No one is watching. But everyone gains.
