Living for here and now

Startup Roshi

We can live a life of regret, disappointing with where we are, and a life of discontent, always wanting something else, something more. But Buddha told us that there is a way, to fully embrace our situation, to love where we are, find the good and live in the moment.

A Parable:

"A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!" - Buddha

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." - Maya Angelou

Until next time, keep digging down in order to scale up.
