Life Quotes Quote by Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Zen is a present state of mind where one honors the task they are partaking of, even if the task is sitting still and doing nothing. Zen is engrained in the Japanese way of life. You can see it everywhere: when a sushi chef delicately slices a piece of raw fish, when a retired man watches an autumn leaf fall from a tree in the park, when a mother prepares and places a cup of tea before her child. When actions and thoughts are done with mindfulness, being fully present in the moment, the person performing the action or thought gives honor to the food, an idea, a task, a person, etc.”

“Oh, Life, I am yours. Whatever it is you want of me, I am ready to give.”
