No Mud, No Lotus
Things Learned From…
No Mud, No Lotus, by Thich Nhat Hanh
“Solid” refers to stability. If you aren’t solid, you won’t be able to accomplish much.
Each day you only need to take a few solid steps in the direction of your goal.
Each morning, you rededicate yourself to your path in order not to go astray.
Before going to sleep at night, take a few minutes to review the day. “Did I live in the direction of my ideals today?”
If you see that you took two or three steps in that direction, that is good enough.
If you didn’t, say to yourself, “I’ll do better tomorrow.”
Don’t compare yourself with others. Just look to yourself to see whether you are going in the direction you cherish.
Take refuge in things that are solid. If you lean on something that isn’t solid, you will fall down.
