“Many
of us are slaves to our minds. Our own mind is our worst enemy. We try
to focus, and our mind wanders off. We try to keep stress at bay, but
anxiety keeps us awake at night. We try to be good to the people we
love, but then we forget them and put ourselves first. And when we want
to change our life, we dive into spiritual practice and expect quick
results, only to lose focus after the honeymoon has worn off. We return
to our state of bewilderment. We're left feeling helpless and
discouraged. It seems we all agree that training the body through
exercise, diet, and relaxation is a good idea, but why don't we think
about training our minds?”
