“To become really good at anything,you have to practice and repeat, practice and repeat, until the technique becomes intuitive”
“Article Five: If you have no reason or ability to accomplish anything, then just practice the art of becoming.”
“Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.”
“You become a worrier by practicing worry. You become free of worry by practicing the opposite…”
“It takes practice to become proficient at something. Practicing the presence of God will make us good at it.”
“I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true”
