When we talk about harmony, we generally refer to the sounds of music or a melody. Different harmonious notes coming together to make something that is very pleasing.  Each note has its own specific characteristics and is perfectly acceptable on its own. However, when put together into a musical melody, each note finds its true value in relation to what it contributes.  

The same holds true for us. Each and everyone has a special set of qualities, skills, and capabilities that hold us in good stead. When we contribute those skills to others, we can discover a personal value and a sense of satisfaction that is deep and rich and resonates with harmony.

However, when we focus on our own pursuits and satisfaction with little or no concern for others, the result is often disharmonious. Just as a note played without regard for the whole jars the senses, a person who does not contribute to the whole creates tension and friction.

In the business world, the concept of harmony is often referred to as synergy. The notion that the effort of an effective team surpasses the best effort of any single individual on that team. The most effective teams have a high degree of synergy amongst its members. They all share their personal best to move the team toward its goal. If a team member gets off track or begins putting his or her own interests before those of the team, then the project is derailed.  

Synergy is of the essence to teamwork and teamwork is essential to success – work success or personal success. When we all work together and have the freedom to express ourselves, we create harmony and produce uncommon results.  

People who live full and satisfied lives embrace the joy of others and are as concerned for the welfare of society as they are the well being of their selves.  

That which will benefit the whole – a sales or management team, a family, a nation, a world – will benefit each of us. We have all been given a different set of talents and strengths. It is our obligation to acknowledge them and share them so we can make a contribution and serve the greater good.
