The Practicing Mind

  1. If you are not in control of your thoughts, then you are not in control of yourself.

  2. A paradox of life: The problem with patience and discipline is that developing each of them requires both of them.

  3. We have a very unhealthy habit of making the product "our intended result" the goal, instead of the process of reaching that goal”. We erroneously think that there is a magical point that we will reach and then we will be happy.

  4. When you focus on the process, the desired product takes care of itself with fluid ease. When you focus on the product, you immediately begin to fight yourself and experience boredom, restlessness, frustration, and impatience with the process.

  5. When you focus your mind on the present moment, on the process of what you are doing right now, you are always where you want to be and where you should be.

  6. In order to focus on the present, we must give up, at least temporarily, our attachment to our desired goal.

  7. In summary, creating the practicing mind comes down to a few simple rules: Keep yourself process-oriented. Stay in the present. Make the process the goal and use the overall goal as a rudder to steer your efforts. Be deliberate, have an intention about what you want to accomplish, and remain aware of that intention.

  8. It is our ego that makes us create false ideas of what perfect is and whether we have reached it.
