#20 The Path You Walk Is Not Toward the Goal — It Is Around It

You reach for the door handle. For a moment, your hand waits. A thought arises: 'After this opens, I will step into my real life.' But the door is already open if you would only push.

The mind creates a stage between you and every beginning. It says: first this condition, then that condition. But the condition is never satisfied because the mind creates new ones faster than you can fulfill old ones. The beginning was never waiting on the other side of those conditions.

Consider this: the hand that reaches is the same hand that pushes. No preparation, no waiting. Just the reaching.
