okay but waking up in the middle of the night to soft rain and knowing you've got hours to sleep, when you're toasty warm and comfortable
November 6, 2012
Wake up early.
Show up.
Learn how to think.
Be genuine, but appear nice.
Use envy for motivation instead of destruction.
Do what you say you’re going to do.
Ensure balance in every area of your life.
Confront repressed thoughts immediately.
Surround yourself with people who are better than you (but remember the thing about envy).
Work out
Don’t do any task in order to get it over with. Resolve to do each job in a relaxed way, with all your attention. Enjoy and be one with your work.
—Thích Nhất Hạnh, The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation
“It's so simple, yet makes such a difference. Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, 'Make me feel important.'”

"For me, that’s pretty much it: waking up and being excited and curiously restless to face the day ahead, and being very present with that day, and then going to bed feeling like it actually happened, that the day was lived. There’s nothing more than that, really."
