Consider for a moment what you pay attention to all day long. What seems important to you, what do you take for granted and hardly attend to at all? Write it down. Do not judge your answers. Be honest and simple. As you keep track all week long, you'll be amazed at what claims your attention, what you give your precious life force to.

All experiences are welcomed and fully digested, not judged good or bad.

We create a mask to meet the masks of others. Then we wonder why we cannot love, and why we feel so alone.

When we do not reject our suffering, or add anything to it, pain is simply pain. It is what we add to our pain that turns it into suffering.

we learn the process of emptying out, cleaning house, both within and without.

Change is the very basis of our life, not to be fought, to be welcomed and tasted, to be seen for the gift it truly is.

Another simple and powerful way to dissolve problems is not to dwell upon the outcome of your actions. Instead, learn to value each action (no matter how small or large), to do it with complete attention. Your joy and satisfaction comes from doing each action with a whole heart and mind. Results and consequences then take care of themselves. When you are not absorbed by concern for outcomes, how much anxiety can you ever have?
