“There is a good reason they call these ceremonies “commencement exercises.” Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning.”

When you are walking along a path leading into a village, you can practice mindfulness. Walking along a dirt path, surrounded by patches of green grass, if you practice mindfulness you will experience that path, the path leading into the village. You practice by keeping this one thought alive: “I’m walking along the path leading into the village.” Whether it’s sunny or rainy, whether the path is dry or wet, you keep that one thought , but not just repeating it like a machine, over and over again. Machine thinking is is the opposite of mindfulness. If we’re really engaged in mindfulness while walking along the path to the village, then we will consider the act of each step we take as an infinite wonder, and a joy will open our hearts like a flower, enabling us to enter the world of reality.
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness
Through mindfulness we can tame our most ferocious of desires.
Everyday you have the choice to be ordinary or extraordinary, the later sure does make things more interesting. The first step is to just simply be, and the rest will come naturally.
