How Incredibly Small We Are
We are tiny in the grand scheme of things. Look at nature and that will become obvious.
Wanting = Working
The more you want things, the more you have to work. That’s the trade-off. Are you okay with that?
Look At It from a Different Angle

Stuff happens in training. You might get popped in the face. Assume the best, and let it go — instead of harboring suspicion and anger.

Attention is a Habit
Staying focused requires practice. It’s a habit that you have to build, just like anything good that you want to maintain.
