Mindful Leadership
What is Equanimity at the Deepest and Simplest Level?
Equanimity has many layers and is often misunderstood. At the deepest and simplest level it means being completely okay with the present moment.
To be completely okay with the present moment as it is has a deep and elegant simplicity. There is no push, no pull, no wanting things to be any different than they are. Whether you are experiencing the deepest joy or the greatest tragedy it is the total acceptance of the moment.
There is true beauty in that and is accompanied by an unexpected peace because in that moment we are trying to control nothing at all.
And as a result, if there is deep joy with equanimity we experience fulfillment and if we are experiencing a great tragedy with equanimity there is pain but no suffering.
