Wash Your Bowl
In this episode, we discuss a Zen story that shows us how to follow through on our commitments, even in the face of distraction and how to be present in the process and detach from the outcome.
- If you always live with the future in mind, you’ll miss out on life. The most important moments (and fondest memories) happen unexpectedly and in the process, not the outcome or destination. Sometimes it’s nothing your mind could have even conceived… something someone says to you (a joke, a story, a compliment) or a look someone gives you.
- Follow through on what you commit to.
- Do not simply try to rush a process to expedite the discomfort of tougher times.
- Fall in love with the process of what you’re choosing to do with your time.
