Want to Change the World? Meditate and Wash the Dishes

Want to Change the World? Meditate and Wash the Dishes

After a few months practicing meditation, I began to understand and started giving the same advice to others. Your boy friend doesn’t care about you any more? Mediate. Your mother cares about you too much? Mediate. Your work has become a pressure cooker? Meditate. You cannot stand the idea of meditation? That’s exactly why you should mediate.
