The goal has its importance. But the doing is what is truly fulfilling. Every enthusiastic person has a goal that may be important, but the doing is intensely fulfilling, and it is the essence of enthusiasm.

You are not a problem that needs solving.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. Each one represents a certain vibrational frequency of consciousness. You need to be vigilant to make sure that one of them operates whenever you are engaged in doing anything at all – from the most simple task to the most complex.

If small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small.

Don't quote the Buddha. Be the Buddha.
