If you find your feet dragging, check your path. You are probably on the wrong one.

When mind and action are separate, zen is lost. We keep the two in sync by paying attention.

We take life for granted, sleepwalking until a shattering event knocks us awake. Zen says, don't wait until the car accident, the cancer diagnosis, or the death of a loved one to get your priorities straight. Do it now.

A final word on self-criticism: Do not beat up on yourself. Even if you think you know your flaws, there is no need to advertise them. Most people won't have noticed.

All things reflect the divine energy of nature—every flower, every rock, every sound, every sight. Once we realize that truth, we cannot help but smile.

The only time and place to find enlightenment is in this moment. No need to check your watch. The time is now.
