Don’t Be a Donkey
TIM: “What advice would you give to your 30-year-old self?”
DEREK: “Don’t be a donkey.”
TIM: “And what does that mean?”
DEREK: “Well, I meet a lot of 30-year-olds who are trying to pursue many different directions at once, but not making progress in any, right? They get frustrated that the world wants them to pick one thing, because they want to do them all: ‘Why do I have to choose? I don’t know what to choose!’ But the problem is, if you’re thinking short-term, then [you act as though] if you don’t do them all this week, they won’t happen. The solution is to think long-term.
“To realize that you can do one of these things for a few years, and then do another one for a few years, and then another.
“You’ve probably heard the fable, I think it’s ‘Buridan’s ass,’ about a donkey who is standing halfway between a pile of hay and a bucket of water. He just keeps looking left to the hay, and right to the water, trying to decide. Hay or water, hay or water? He’s unable to decide, so he eventually falls over and dies of both hunger and thirst. A donkey can’t think of the future. If he did, he’d realize he could clearly go first to drink the water, then go eat the hay.
“So, my advice to my 30-year-old self is, don’t be a donkey. You can do everything you want to do. You just need foresight and patience.”

In meditation, we close our eyes & put our attention on the inner world of thoughts & feelings. We become conscious of any limiting beliefs so they never slip by our awareness again. Yet, the real beauty of meditation happens when we practice with our eyes open in our waking day.
