Achievement

by

To live in the now you must actively change your focus. Thinking, planning, having ideas, and dreaming are all constructive if directed toward a goal. But, life is action. You must refine your thinking. Make significant concrete plans toward your goal and start to physically act. Then, when an opportunity presents itself, you can incorporate the chance to aid in fulfilling your dreams and establishing a foundation for your actions. You accomplish by preforming and taking responsibility for your actions.
You cannot say, “Why didn’t someone tell me?”
I’m telling you now.
Start; Life is Action.

Zen Focus

by

Serenity and efficiency go hand and hand. When you are relaxed you think clearly. When you are overloaded your thoughts become frenetic. Sometimes taking a deep breath is all it takes to relax and focus. Sometime a walk around the block or a break is necessary. Knowing yourself and what produces efficiency is part of the every day battle. Satoru

Control

by

Staying in shape physically and mentally is the most important aspect of your life. People judge you more by appearance then any other way. Get slimmer, be healthy, have more energy, take control, and you win. Everything else is secondary.

Increased physical activity and exercise is paramount to improving your mental power and gaining more control. Think of how you learn to play a musical instrument or meditate.  Practice, focus, intention, and control. All these lead to more pleasure, enjoyment, skill and satisfaction. Change, unlearning, and relearning new practices takes courage and determination. However, since life is action you must start moving NOW for a new beginning. Satoru

Change

Zen and life are too important to be taken gravely. Life is a cosmic theater where we should endeavor to play our essential roles significantly while not taking them too seriously. The powerful play goes on and you want to develop a verse, edit, and rewrite your own.

A Friend

by

An excerpt from A Way To Love – Laugh, soon to be published.

Kim*, It’s not strange to be able to tell a friend your troubles and share. That’s what friends are for and it helps to talk and relieve the stress.

My definition of a friend is a kind of honest, loving, light revealing, mirror in which we learn to recognize ourselves and are shaped and modified. We are lousy at being objective about ourselves, where we are going, whom we are going to be, what we will desire a decade from now, and most of all how and if we have changed and in what direction. A real friend can tell it to you bluntly and straight and perhaps save you some grief. Don’t marry that so and so, that’s an ill advised tattoo, consolidate, don’t make another purchase and lousy financial decision. But it is so hard to give heed to that we usually don’t listen.
