When you write an essay, an article, a poem, or a book, there are countless edits and rewrites. There is continual scrutiny placed on each word. You must reread what you have written an incredible amount of times to know just how to continue. You must try to extract the exact meaning that you want to convey out of every syllable and every sentence. You review, edit, rewrite ad nauseum until there is "completion".
What if you took that same approach to your life?
What if you were careful with every word you said? What if you could try again over and over to be the kindest, most compassionate, most patient person?
Oh, you can! It is all right there for you! It is called practicing the art of mindful living.
