What Does The Zen Say?

The Zen says, "If it arises as an object to be dealt with, do it without thought; once it is recognized as such."

Action without deliberative thought is the key to any successful attempt to do everything from beginning an undertaking no matter how large or small to completing some elaborate cash-cow project.

Nothing accomplishes as much as getting started and sticking to it. Nothing short circuits the mind's propensity to prolong inaction like depriving the deliberator of his usual tactics:

I guess that's why one of the greatest capitalistic sports shoe businesses in the entire world has a motto meaning like what the Zen say. . . . JDI

    was that taken out of a longer statement .

    i think the term of the day among the younger crowd is you only live once ..which people use as a statement before doing something that could screw up their lives ..

    some thing require planning and preparation

    as i do i google search for the quote . it look to me just piecing together from the titles

    as this is an instruction for proper meditation .

    meditate and if a thought arise or object ..that you can take action on now .. once you realize that ..stop meditating and do it

    i don't meditate but i do know how to clear my mind and wait for the next thing i should do .. and write now i will close my eyes clear my mind and wake up in about three hours

    The old saying "Make hay while the sun shines" is appropriate for any of us that want success before we turn 82 years old. I still push any of us to consider what we really want out of life and do it often to make sure we stay on "our path" and not a path that we follow someone else on their journey.
