The Miracle of Mindfulness

"There are two ways to wash the dishes. The first is to wash the dishes in order to have clean dishes, the second is to wash the dishes in order to wash the dishes."

- "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by the Vietnamese Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh.

If you do something merely to get to the result, you will not be really present while you're doing it, and you won't be enjoying life at that time.

(Thanks to Chris for recommending this wonderful little book.)
