If we want to create anything meaningful in our lives - a great career, a strong business, a wonderful family, we need to have a clear and focused mind to do that. Meditation is one of the most powerful ways to give yourself that clarity.

Many successful people develop the discipline to spend time to clear their mind, de-clutter the noise and give themselves the space to focus on what’s important - instead of getting distracted by past or future worries.

Here are some well-known legends on why they meditate...
