That’s a great question and if you don’t know, who does? But don’t feel bad because hardly anyone knows what his or her essence is, but your close friends usually do! In short, your essence is your gift. It’s totally unique to you and it is your purpose for being here. I like to think of it as the combination of your mental, physical and spiritual being. When your using your essence, you get all excited, passionate and energized. It might be cooking, doing math, teaching, painting or speaking. But whatever it is, people around you get excited who share your gift and your efforts make them feel uplifted.

According to Balance and Harmony, deep knowledge is to be aware of disturbance before the disturbance occurs. Wisdom, is to know the answer before the question is asked. To sense and comprehend after action is not worthy. The implication being that isolated and insular individuals, nations or leaders who do not explore the potential disturbances, or ask the questions that need to be asked, may find themselves shocked by external events. As it relates to a creator or inventor, constraining oneself by what is currently possible will always inhibit dreams of infinite potential. Finally, when seeking the answer to a challenging question, the answer lies within the question itself. A couple of simple illustrations: (a) how do we ensure that no child is left behind in education? The answer is that we ensure every child moves forward, which has nothing to do with anyone being left behind; (b) how do you reduce your costs of operations by 25 %? By learning how to do it 25 % cheaper, which is totally different from reducing your costs by 25 %.

It is called by many names, Prana, Qi, Ki, In the classical Chinese book entitled The Art of War, the famous philosopher Sun Tzu describes the ‘Science of Life’ and the ‘Science of Essence’. These two principles combine to explain that success has to do with knowing when to use energy - knowing what to do and what not to do — and when.
