Achieving great things with little effort fascinates me. I see it as an intellectual challenge. Or maybe I'm just lazy.
Finding a solution in a specific situation is an interesting task. It's even more exciting to find a universal Lever.
In this video from Japan, there's a clue. A dull knife doesn't cut a tomato; it just pushes and squashes it. But after sharpening the knife, it feels like the tomato slices itself.
Now, replace the knife with attention.
If you're scattered, it's hard to overcome the resistance of something or someone. You'll have to push yourself to the limit, crushing everything in your path. Side effects are inevitable.
It's a different story if your attention is sharp like a Japanese knife. The fabric of reality unfolds before you. Just look at it intently. The effort is there, but it feels like it's not.
Every craftsman becomes the sharpener of his ultimate knife.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
