Well said! It was an amazing experience to be a part of.

Great book review Elan. Zen In the Martial Arts is one of my all-time favorite martial arts books. There are many lessons in it that you can carry with you on your journey. Every great achievement begins in the mind. However, I don’t want that to sound like a cliche. If something seems overwhelming – like 50, 000 pushups – you’ll never accomplish your goal if it’s so overwhelming to you that you can’t possibly see the end. So you first have to break up the elephant into individual chunks; like individual projects. Once the goal seems achievable, positive thoughts come naturally. That’s a skill that takes practice. It sounds like you’re figuring it out.

I am glad the meditation is helping. It is relaxing after busy days.
