Career Coach - 2. The Merging of Action and Awareness

8dmpile_of_sand.jpg"When all a person's relevant skills are needed to cope with the challenge of the situation, that person's attentions is completely absorbed by the activity. There is no excess psychic energy left over to process any information but what that activity offers... they (people) stop being aware of themselves as being separate from the actions they are performing.

Similarly Buddhism encourages us to work with this fleeting nature of life. Buddhism teaches that life, however brief, should be lived fruitfully so that there are no regrets. By emphasizing that the present moment is of paramount importance, Buddhism defines this moment as both cause and effect. It is the only moment of life that can free oneself from the effects of the past and at the same time project oneself into the future.
