The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all.

them.

Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go,
non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness
practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as
a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in
giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give
yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or
some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to
accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and
from the universe.

at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is
no other moment you can live. Now is all there is, and the future is just
another present moment to live when it arrives. One thing is certain, you
cannot live it until it does appear.
