The Importance of Boring Basics
Avoiding basic, seemingly mundane actions can hinder continuous progress. A Zen Buddhist saying emphasizes that although one's internal state may change, the external actions, such as 'chopping wood and carrying water', should remain consistent. As individuals grow, they often overlook these foundational tasks in favor of more complex activities, yet it is these very basics that lay the groundwork for success. Reflecting on what basic actions are being neglected today can significantly enhance personal growth.
