"What pollutes the mind is our desire to get life to conform to our peculiar notion of how things should be, as opposed to how they really are. In the course of everyday life, we spend the majority of our time immersed in self-centered thoughts. Why did this happen to me? What would make me feel better? If only I could make more money, win her heart, make my boss appreciate me. The thoughts themselves are not the problem; it's our desperate clinging to them and our resistance to what's actually happening that causes us so much anguish." -- Phil Jackson
I admit, I spent time today thinking about how to get someone to change their approach to things, and maybe I should be studying how they do behave and make the most of that.
