there is no yesterday or tomorrow; there is only this moment. Twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a week. Three hundred sixty-five days a year.

Do not analyze things to death. Sometimes the best strategy is, "Ready, fire, aim." Do it first , then make adjustments. The answer lies in action-not in words.

Put in an honest day's work. It is the building block of a spiritual life.

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

The further we travel down the path of enlightenment, the more humble we become. We shouldn't seek to impress others—or allow ourselves to be taken—with mere outer trappings. If we do our inner work, our spirit will be our calling card. Nice to meet you.

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

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