Now if I can focus and achieve equanimity, then I will achieve sainthood. I am challenged by distractions that make me lose focus and interactions that frustrate me, sainthood seems pretty far away right now.
Even more annoying is the fact that achieving focus and equanimity is 100% in my control and no one (other than me) has to do anything differently.
The best thing to do for now seems to be to enjoy the process and improve my batting average. Time to buckle up and get down to it.
Isnt being very goal oriented in itself a trap? I observe that the more we put ourselves under pressure to perform, the further equanimity moves away.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! Still thinking about this one. Thanks for the note, Ram.
