    You shouldn’t be afraid of failure. Like a tree will produce a lot of seeds just for most of them to end up getting eaten. The tree doesn’t need to be a Success germination every time only a handful of times

    I love the message, but I wish it was a little longer.

    “Stop trying to force things” One is hoping for a specific outcome instead seeing opportunities. Many are blind to what’s already in front of them.

    You know the funny part? It goes all the way. Let’s look at this dialogue from a Zen master from a 1000 years ago:

    Q: What instructions have the Masters everywhere given for dhyana practice and the study of Dharma?

    A: Words used to attract the dull of wit are not to be relied on.

    Q: If those teachings were meant for the dull-witted, I have yet to hear what Dharma has been taught to those of really high capacity.

    A: If they are really people of high capacity, where could they find people to follow? If they seek from within themselves, they will find nothing tangible; how much less can they find a Dharma worthy of their attention elsewhere! Do not look to what is called the Dharma by teachers, for what sort of Dharma could that be?

    Q: If that is so, should we not seek for anything at all?

    A: By conceding this, you would save yourself a lot of mental effort.
