When we are inattentive and uncentered, we can forget what is
truly important. For centuries, Eastern philosophy has taught the lesson of centering. The Tao Te Ching tells
us to "stay centered and prevail." How do we gain this self mastery? How do we find our inner center?
Find some focused quiet time. Being silent doesn't shut down your mind, it only activates a deeper type of intelligence
-- an inner wisdom or perhaps a universal source of thought. If you have defined and examined a problem, you have
all the information you need. The next step is to allow the question to settle like silt in water. A solution or
next step will surface if you stop working so hard.
What are some practices which
can help you develop this focus?
Distractions are the archenemy of attention.
--Dr. David Kuntz, Stopping
The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass,
it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably
magnificent world in itself.
--Henry Miller
