This is a great message from Stafford Shepherd - I always look forward to reading his Law Free Sunday posts. In the typically fast paced world we all live in, we have to be intentional about slowing down - to allow ourselves the time to stop and observe - to get our faces out of our phones (I say ironically, given that I am posting this) - to take the time to reflect and appreciate - to simplify - to be still. Go on - try it right now. Put your phone down - be quiet - listen - smell - look around you and observe. What wonderful, simple things did you notice? How did it make you feel? #pointyendofhr #humanresources #employmentlaw #gettingbeyondhesaidshesaid

Hello and welcome to law free Sunday. It is said that Otto von Bismarck asked of one of his leading generals Helmuth von Moltke a simple question - Was there anything left for them to do? Moltke’s response was : “Yes, Your Excellency, watching a tree grow.” In life we must remember that the simple things are often greater than anything that may come our way. Children building sandcastles or the way bread breaks open in the oven or the fragrance of a flower or the sun setting or rising. The simple pleasure of tracking the progress of the plants we grow. There’s something wonderful about the way a forest is here and will be here after us. This simplicity is stillness.Taking the time to observe it, to learn from it, to be centered by it. We should not underestimate the power of simplicity. We need it now more than ever before. Have a great Sunday. Take the time to look at the world around us and enjoy your week. #lawfreesunday #simplicity #stillness #resilience #takingtime

1yCouldn’t agree more John. It’s great advice. I think there’s a lot of power in simplicity.
