Grass doesn’t try to grow, it just grows. Fish don’t try to swim, they just swim. Flowers don’t try to bloom, they bloom. This is their intrinsic nature. In ancient Indian Science, this was called the Law of Least Effort. Nature’s intelligence functions effortlessly, frinctionlessly, spontaneously. It is non-linear, intuitive and nourishing.
In a similar way, in the conduct of our business, we are in harmony with Nature when our actions are motivated by values. When one seeks power and control over other people, we waste energy. When our actions are motivated by values, our energy multiplies and accumulates. So, what does it mean in practical terms to leverage the Law of Least Effort through actions that are motivated by values? There are three components to this Law of Least Effort:
accepting that things are the way they are at this point of time without blaming others, taking responsibility to change things for the better, and avoiding defensiveness of your view, your past actions
Count on your natural instinct for values.
