Practices

     It’s called a “practice” because it’s something you’re a beginner at, maybe a beginner with experience but a beginner nevertheless. And as a beginner, you’ve got to cut yourself some slack because you’re not complete yet in that experience. Same applies to new behaviors, new practices you wish to implement. Whether it’s “being non-judgmental” or “realizing it’s your own story about a person” or “pointing to myself”, it’s good to remember that we’re beginners and getting it somewhat right takes some time.
     Be patient.



A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
- Lao Tzu

The Second Five Practices

     There are actually seven of them and it makes better reading if you keep it listed to five I think. I set them out here so that I don’t forget what I need to write:

     Have No Expectations
     Look to See, Listen to Hear, Be.
     Pointing to Myself
     Bow to How Life Is
     On Automatic
     Design Your Day
     Doing It for Whom?

     I plan to write more on each as we go along.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. - Chinese Proverb
