MINDFULNESS VIDEO SERIES (20): IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR PRACTICE OF MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION

No matter what we try to achieve in life, what we are trying to get better at, it takes regular practice. We need to really have some determination and motivation to try to reach our goal that we set. And this is actually the greatest goal that we can set. The goal that we can experience real lasting happiness and peace, that we can actually be a force for good in this world. This is our hope.
I just wanted to say one other thing. That we need to be mindful about the power of association. Who do we spend time with? Who do we get close to, what type of activities do we engage in? It is said that it is very beneficial to be with like-minded people who have similar goals in life because we can actually help each other. If we spend time with people who have completely different goals in life, we will find that we don’t have very much in common. And we cannot be as focused in our practice. If you have the fortune of spending time in your life with people who have the same or very similar goals, this can be so beneficial.
