Success and Vision

by

Observe the bigger picture and do not just focus on the insignificant aspect with which you have an emotional attachment. Setting your priorities correctly will give you the most impact and allow you to motivate, inspire, learn and change. Find the talent that can help you to carry out your mission, a triangular alliance is more stable than a two-legged one, and be decisive once you have the facts to act. Have strategic solutions but remember that being just approximately right can solve many problems. Do not take no for an answer from a person who does not have the power to say yes. Satoru

Zen Inspirational Passages

by

We possess nothing certainly except the past- yet to live we must exist only in the present.

Zen Inspirational excerpts and maxims increase your motivation to take action and accomplish your goals. The hard part is to start. Getting to do the things you need to do when you need to do them is what it is all about, focus, now, and action. If you can motivate yourself to do what needs to be done, even when you would rather do something else like procrastinate, you will succeed. It’s easy to forget our objectives when met with difficulty and setbacks, so have a plan and pursue it. When you feel like giving up the most, insightful maxims can help you to realize your objectives and Zen extracts, anecdotes, and phrases of wisdom can help you to energize. Satoru

Zen Intuition

by

Buckminster Fuller in his book Intuition wrote,
Clearly, it is seen
That man’s metaphysical mind
Demonstrates the most effective
Syntropic capability evidenced in Universe
Excepting that of the universal mind’s
Cosmic syntropy
As manifest in the eternal design complex,
Comprehensively and synergetically interacomodative
As eternally regenerative Universe,
Which cosmic syntropy combines
All the metaphysical integrities
As well as all the physical patterns.

All though his brilliance shines through, his suitcase-sized sentences are essential attempts to deliver all the thoughts and elements simultaneity. Summed up, in Zen, I think he was saying, We are all one.
Zen can be equally impressive in brevity.
Life is action.
Belief creates fact.
Alone is also all one.
Sit, breath, meditate, Zen.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
Knowledge, repeated, equals survival.

Baggage.

by

Even though your obsessive devotion to your own neurotic needs is what makes you so loveable, that, and your terminal righteousness, I still like you.

The Buddha said that the path of all suffering is desire. Be free of suffering by being free of desire. Be smart in your desires. Do not desire harmful recipes. Which one is best for you? Suffering is more like dissatisfaction. Let go of the pain and allow yourself to become what you can be. Connect to your core. Relax your breath, hands, heal yourself, meditate, and slowly open your eyes and move toward living in the now. Satoru

Bushido strategy is execution.

by

Two blind men walk slowly down the street next to each other. Both hold out begging cups in their hands and have small signs around their necks. One of the blind men’s cups is continually filled and the other man’s cup was almost empty. Upon closer inspection, an observer will notice a slight but significant difference in the signs. One sign reads, “I am blind.” The other sign reads, “It is May and I am blind.“

Unless you translate thoughts into concrete steps for action, they’re pointless.
