Keep still.
Don't work so hard.
Learn to appreciate everyday life.
Pay attention to details.
Start small and work your way up.
When people give you trouble,
let it slide.
Break everything down to its essentials.
Get the job done
before it becomes a chore.
With the right preparation,
difficult tasks
can be completed with ease;
every major project
consists of simple steps.
The Masters don't take on
more than they can handle,
which is why
they can do just about anything.
Don't promise
more than you can deliver,
and don't underestimate the task:
You'll only make things harder for yourself.
The Masters are always aware
of the difficulties involved,
which is why
they never have to deal with them.
I think that a lot of us can easily take this passage to heart and meditate upon it. The modern world is often a hectic and busy one, with people overextending themselves as they try to fit in work, play, family, and spiritual life.
Take the time out when you can to slow down, breathe, and contemplate the wisdom inherent in making personal down-time an important and integral part of your daily routine.
