Work with what you have.
That’s my lesson from today.
- Forgot a book but still want to eat outside, away from a screen? Eat in silence & just enjoy the moment.
- Don’t have the documentation you need to do your job? Start documenting what you know & ask others to fill it in.
- Want to put down a path but there’s a giant rock in your way? Just build around it & let it be.
I’ve started (re)reading Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind and even two days in, I’ve found myself paying attention to my thoughts & how tightly I hold on to ideas. So today I took that awareness one step farther & looked at everything as if it was new. I tried to release control & observe & learn.
“To give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow is the way to control him.”
