Wishing you a lovely week, here’s to hoping the Sun starts to shine!!

23 Hours Wins
1 hour of mindfulness + 23 hours of neurosis = crap results.
23 hours always wins. 1 hour does not overwrite 23. Just like 1 year of practice does not overwrite 33 years of habit.
To be awake is the goal. But how often is the average person conscious? Maybe 5% of the day. To those who practice, perhaps 10-15%.
To increase the percentage of time awake, we look to the fundamental design, how and why we approach our practice. Work and play, it’s all a practice.
As Robert Heinlein once wrote, ‘specialization is for insects.’ We accentuate and identify with certain skills, but in doing so fail to fully participate in all 24 hours of our day.
