3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With hand on heart I can say I made the best possible use of time yesterday, and with practice I will become more efficient. Spiritually, Practice-wise and family-wise I had cause to be satisfied. However I do not want successful days to distract my attention from my goals of internal silence and focus on the Player rather than the Character. Allotted times for Grounding are important to prevent distraction.

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you making space for times to re-focus and assess progress?

9. ZEN WISDOM
The exclusive pursuit of one’s own interests cannot bring true happiness. It is in striving for the sake of others that the great path to genuine happiness is opened.
