Start Every Day
U have experience facing The Resistance and U know every day U must face it again. To defeat the resistance, each day U have to start again.
How does Zen philosophy benefit martial artists? For one, it teaches Beginner's Mind. What does a beginner do? A beginner begins. Each day we must begin anew, in this way each day we act as a beginner. To remain a perpetual beginner means that each day we restart our practice, thus each day we deepen our commitment to our life path.
U've noticed now that each time U start the ball of progress rolling, everything else gets easier. We face the most resistance right at the start, but once started we have sustained power. Focus your energy on starting, because U find that difficult. Shore up your weaknesses to allow your strengths to flourish.
U have the strength of commitment and lasting power. U need to build your initiative. When U reach the point where U reliably and consistently initiate, U will find that U stride steadily along the course of your destiny.
So just start again. Just like meditating. Bring your focus back to your breath. Over and over, U bring your focus back to your breath. With each breath U start your meditation practice anew. With each day U start the practice of your life again.
