super quick read I liked
* be completely present: just look, don’t interpret. listen, don’t judge. be aware of the silent presence of each thing and the space that allows everything to be.
* time is an illusion: the more you focus on the past/future, the more you miss the now
* obsession with the future (achieving goals, “making it”) is just an escape: narrow your life down to this moment
* whether you’re right/wrong makes no difference to your sense of self, so let go of the need to be right/defensive
* a situation needs to be either dealt with or accepted. why make it into a problem? instead of carrying the burden of a hundred things to do in the future, focus on the one thing you can do now
* don’t worry about the result of your action: give attention to the action and the result will come by itself.
* you cannot find yourself by going into the past: you find yourself by coming into the present.
* you cannot love your partner one moment and attack them the next: true love has no opposite.
* as with every addiction, you’re on a high when the drug is available but there comes a time when the drug no longer works for you.
* accept your partner as they are, without needing to judge or change them in any way
* express without blaming: accusing, defending, attacking, all those meant to protect the ego are unnecessary
* watch any plant or animal: let it teach you being, how not to make living and dying into a problem.
