Non-attachment

The Master has no possessions.

The more he does for others,

the happier he is.

The more he gives to others,

the wealthier he is.

Be totally empty,

embrace the tranquility of peace.

Watch the workings of all creation,

observe how endings become beginnings.

All creatures in the universe

return to the point where they began.

Returning to the source is tranquility

meaning submitting to what is and what is to be.

To understand the limitation of things,

desire them.

If you try to change it,

you will ruin it.

Try to hold it,

and you will lose it.

Tony, you write: "I’ve created a space in my morning routine for the seed of mastery to take root and I water it with what’s FUN for me."

Care to elaborate what your morning routine look like? I'm genuinely curious. And I'd also love to know if you have any insights as to how you can discover what lights you on fire?

Hey Alex!

Happy to share a high level.

My mornings are designed around cultivating my peace.

Morning quiet time, meditation, and grounding.

Whatever label you wanna slap on it:-)

This feeds my heart.

I do a lot of reading.

That helps feed my mind.

And I love physical books most.

Writing time is important to me.

I do a lot of writing.

Much of it in the mornings.

I'm USUALLY an early riser and no one is texting you at 5 am.

So it allows for much uninterrupted thinking and writing.

Much of it I keep to myself.

Some of it I massage and share here.

And my 1st conversations of the day are with people who I'm lit up with.

No drama.

As far as how you can go about discovering what lights you on fire?

Yes, I've got that well worked through but comments aren't the place for it.

But I'll leave you with this.

It's gonna be so obvious to you when you see it.

You do it.

No one has to ask you to do it.

Matter of fact, you embody it already.

It usually just needs to be refined and sharpened.

What can you NOT do?

Like me...

I LOVE deep conversations.

They definitely bring me a lot of joy and I feel it helps turn the lights on for other people.

What's that look like for you?
