Time To Focus

"Life without zazen is like winding your clock without setting it. It runs perfectly well, but it doesn't tell time." - Shunryu Suzuki

You can look up "zazen" - it essentially means meditation. "Reflection" or "focus" suits me as a substitute there. Why risk charging in the wrong direction for months, days or even hours, when we can step back and think for a while about where we really want to be, and what really matters most? Is it money? Or reputation? Or charity? Or health? Or peace?
