Make Effort for Your Evolution · Attention for Transformation
⁘ “Is your attention diluted? Then reprioritize. Are your skills lacking? Then upskill and train yourself. Precise application of meticulous attention. Not for the sake of particular outcomes. For your own sake — for your own transformation. Be present and be real in your works. In engagement, with attention, there's evolution. Nowhere else. Do it properly. It benefits you. It benefits everyone. There's clarity in what you do. That's precious.”
If your attention is diluted –
then reprioritize.
If your skills are lacking,
then upskill, train yourself.
Don't flicker in the forge.
Precise application of meticulous attention.
Do that not for the sake
of particular outcomes.
Do it for your own sake,
for your own transformation.
The devil in the details
will have nothing over you.
It's truly exhausting,
just watching people work without
their hearts and minds in the game.
Knowing that the outcomes will be substandard,
and themselves the workers
will get nowhere in their lives.
Whatever that your line of work,
a craftsman, intellectual, counselor
or a clerk in the office,
be present and be real in your works.
In engagement, with attention, there is evolution.
Nowhere else.
Even the meditator, still and silent,
engages in significant inner works.
If you are actually doing your inner work,
that is.
If you are just peacefully drifting,
that's something else.
So, you know, "Ora Et Labora", etc.
Don't just muck around.
Do it properly.
It benefits you.
It benefits everyone.
There's clarity in what you do.
That's precious.
