I decided years ago that if I'm going to keep teaching contemplation, then the last years of my life should be contemplative.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my personal life, I am very contemplative.
Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.
Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now.
I learn from thinking about the future, what hasn't been done yet. That's kind of my constant obsession.
I've always wanted to make teaching a part of my life.
I enjoy what I'm doing at the moment and try not to think too much about the future.
The contemplative life is often miserable. One must act more, think less, and not watch oneself live.
I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's where the fun is.
I really don't spend time thinking about the past. I think about the future. I'm not stopping.
I stopped thinking about it after trying to figure out what are the lessons learned, and there are so many. After I had basically sorted that out, I figured it's time to really look at the future and not at the past.
