What Not To Do….Get Positive Results in Our Lives
A very learned professor heard of a wise old monk who knew many things about ZEN…
The professor wanted to visit this wise old ZEN Master even though it was very difficult to see him because he was so famous…
After many years of trying the professor finally got an appointment to see the famous ZEN Master…
The monks opened the door and ushered the professor into the room where the ZEN Master was sitting cross legged at a small table…
The professor joined him and immediately started talking to the ZEN Master all about ZEN that he had learned…
The professor kept talking and talking and talking….
Then ZEN Master sat quietly and listened, then asked if he would like a cup of tea and started to pour…
He poured and poured and poured until the cup was full and tea was all over the table and now dripping on to the professor…
The professor could not take it any longer and said, “stop it, stop it, the cup is full…”
The ZEN Master calmly looked up at the professor and said, “yes, when our cup is full we can’t take anymore in…”
Listen up…
3 words we don’t want to have leave our mouths, ever…
“YES I KNOW”
Understand this…
It doesn’t matter what we have already learned as there is always deeper distinctions to be made in what we have learned, hence more learnings…
I remember the saying…
“It’s not we we don’t know that’s the problem, it’s what we do know that just ain’t so…”
Here’s the deal…
To get new positive results in our lives, Act as if we don’t know, make more distinctions in what we do know, be open to learning and take massive action…
Life will never be the same again…
