We answer an e-mail while we talk on the phone; while in a meeting for one project, we work on our notes for another project. Every new technology promises to help us do more things at once. Now we can send e-mail while listening to music, talking on the phone, and taking a picture, all with the same device. With your energy that dispersed, where is your power?"

This is why the Lord has said for us to enjoy but not become the enjoyer, to do something which we like but do not become habituated about it."
"Concentration is not wholesome in itself. A thief needs concentration to break into a house.The object of our concentration is what makes it beneficial or not. If you use meditative concentration to run away from reality, that is not beneficial."
"The road to happiness starts with a deep breath and an awareness of the many blessings tied to that single breath."
