The last quality of essence is compassion. Compassion is the arms you wrap around yourself and others, radiating confidence and harmony. The five qualities of essence form the basis of creativity. It is from here that essence becomes what I am calling soul. Soul allows us to reach that state described as excited, lifted above the ordinary and forcing others to feel something they wouldn't have otherwise.
Entrepreneurs know soul.
In recent years entrepreneurship and, strangely enough, gardening have exploded in popularity. Perhaps we are looking in backyard dirt and the halls of venture capital firms for the ingredients to grow something of substance, something we can get out hands dirty with and that needs attention over time. Valuing the creative spirit puts feeling back into our work-lives. Then our careers allow room for aesthetics as well as expediency, and for the exceptional as well as the efficient. As consumers as well as business people facing the high-tech 21st century, we can still value the creative products of human craftsmanship.
