The first step is to forget all the ideas you may have in your mind about what is wrong with it as it is. Erase all your previous ideas and begin serving without exercising any conscious control over your stroke. Observe your serve freshly, as it is now.

Your attention will continue to be grabbed by anything until you give it the appropriate attention.

If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.

you keep your eye on the donut not the hole.

If you do not direct your attention, it will be directed for you.

Look around your environment.

Rather than seeing items as objects, see them as magnets for your attention. Each object gently pulls a certain amount of your attention toward it.

Whenever you discard something, the tug of that object is released. You get some attention back.

choose a productive or meaningful object of attention; eliminate as many external and internal distractions as you can; focus on that chosen object of attention; and continually draw your focus back to that one object of attention.

Pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, so you can pay attention to what really has your attention.

Keep your eye on the doughnut, not on the hole.

We drink the can, not the beverage.

Things hold your attention hostage until you give them the appropriate attention.

Take your fill when the cask is first opened and when it is nearly spent, but midways be sparing: it is poor saving when you come to the lees.

By giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose.

If I catch you coming back my way. I'm gonna serve it to you.
