See For Yourself Whether Letting Go When

Voluntary Simplicity Means Going Fewer Places In One Day Rather Than More, Seeing Less So I Can See More, Doing Less So I Can Do More, Acquiring Less So I Can Have More.

You Could Think Of Mindfulness As Wise And Affectionate Attention.

From The Point Of View Of The Meditative Traditions The Entire Society Is Suffering From Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

When We Let Go Of Wanting Something Else To Happen In This Moment, We Are Taking A Profound Step Toward Being Able To Encounter What Is Here Now. If We Hope To Go Anywhere Or Develop Ourselves In Any Way, We Can Only Step From Where We Are Standing. If We Don't Really Know Where We Are Standing—a Knowing That Comes Directly From The Cultivation Of Mindfulness—we May Only Go In Circles, For All Our Efforts And Expectations. So, In Meditation Practice, The Best Way To Get Somewhere Is To Let Go Of Trying To Get Anywhere At All.
