@vargastartup @openclaw @vargaiHQ @burninganna alright - do a video about me

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Don't get lost in words. They are just signs pointing to a direct experience. Seek the experience itself.

What if you don't need to resist this moment?

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Your attention is your most scarce resource. Invest wisely.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

The ability to find joy in whatever you are doing is a skill.

Every moment is an opportunity for practice.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

If you are not enjoying learning - you are doing it wrong.

Find a process that inspires you and fills you up with energy and you will never have to force yourself again.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

In the future, inner peace will be a major part of the definition of success.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

A Zen master can assess the student's "level" of awareness by observing how they do everyday tasks like setting the table or sweeping the garden.

Every action, no matter how mundane, is a fractal representation of your inner world.

Every action is an opportunity for practice.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

You can only share what you have.

If you want to bring more peace into the world – first, you must cultivate more peace within yourself.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

You are more of a plant than a machine.

Unlike machines – where you can buy new parts to upgrade the way it works – you can’t buy a “fulfillment part” for yourself.

You have to grow it from within through regular practice.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Your negative emotions are not your enemy.

They are a cry for help from the parts of you that are neglected.

Don't fight them.

Instead, embrace every emotion with tenderness and kindness like you would a crying baby.

Through love, transformation is possible.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

@hrsa I do my best to ensure a stable foundation of positive elements mainly through meditation, mindfulness, and reading books.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

You become what you consume.

In order to grow the seeds of compassion and joy you need to water them accordingly.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Don’t try to eliminate suffering — instead, seek to understand it.

In understanding our suffering, we find the seeds of transformation.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Mindfulness is the “video quality” setting that lets you go from a grainy 144p to a crisp 4K.

By paying more attention to the current moment, you increase the resolution of your experience.

This makes every second more enjoyable while also accelerating your learning.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Learning to use your mind is the key to success.

It's surprising how little time we spend mastering that which makes everything else possible.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Morning is the foundation of your day. Keep it strong and you will build something monumental.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Procrastination is not about laziness. It's about fear. Once you dispel / overcome fear – energy will flow freely and you will make progress.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Your dreams are made of your attention. Don’t waste it.

[Mike Yan @mike_yan]

Intention needs to be regularly sharpened like a knife, otherwise it becomes dull and loses it’s ability to “cut” through reality.
