Fully present
If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.

HI All, Its me again.. hope u guys dont miss my blog or me, too much..Huahahaha…Anyway, just got back from an overnite stay at bundanoon…
So many has changed wif the monastery n its for the better.. first time I was ther was in 2004, but then the second time was just yesterday….
Pretty amazed n inspired on the buildin of the pagoda n other places around forest monastery (wif limited funds, unskilled labour, n heavily reliance on donation, they manage to build a magnificient pagoda) ….
Today’s theme is to fully present in wot u do n enjoy it..
Normally im just quite absorbed in doin wot im doin, n tell u the truth, I found pleasure in challengin myself that I can do this task better, no matte how small. Or if not betta, I challenge myself by livin fully in that moment n try my best wif a smile, knowin that I choose to do this wholeheartedly … So intention plays important role behind any decisions u make, so do pls b clear in ur intention or ur aims or goals … +)
My recipe would be acceptance of the task, analyze on how to do it best, Action ( if Action A fails, rmb thers always B and C) ….
Lov,
