Peaceful Warrior: Here and Now

Quote:
Take out the trash.  The trash is anything that's keeping you from what matters - here, now.  And when you truly are in the here and now you'll be truly amazed at what you can do and how well you can do it.

Today's task:
In your period 7/8 class, or sometime over the weekend, be truly present in the here and now.

  • What was the experience like?  
  • What was different than how things normally are?  
  • Was it difficult to keep "the trash" out of your mind?  
  • Do you think it takes practice to be able to do this?  
  • Is there anything else you'd like to share?  Did you make any other observations?


Reminders:
When you leave your comment, be sure to write using complete sentences and correct punctuation.  Be honest with your responses and share your experience based on the questions above.  I hope you will ask some questions of your own, or talk about other observations you've made.

For any visitors who are joining us on our journey, please refer to Dan Millman's Peaceful Warrior to understand the above quote.  Your questions and comments are welcome, but if you comment on the quote, please be sure to have read and contemplated the relative reading before doing so.  Thank you.

I'm looking forward to reading your comments!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Murphy

  1. The experience was like learing about others live and chalanges. Most people don't normally go to a gymnastics class and do flips like the man in the movie.Yes,it is hard to take out the trash, because thier is many things I want to try but, sometimes there is a reason as to why I can't do it. I think that it dose take pracice to be able to take out the trash, and do those gymanstic tricks.                        -Kendra Quintero

  2. The experience was like learning about how hard people have to work to get where they want to get. Most teens don't normally put this much stress on their shoulders. it is hard to take out the trash because there could be so many things on your mind that you want erase but you cant. I think it does take practice to "take out the trash" and focus on whats important.
