Zen-frastructure

Imagine there is a piece of paper on the table with a profound, life-changing message written on it...in very, very, very tiny font.

Meanwhile, you are staring at the paper through a glass of water that is turbulent and swirling all the time, so you have no way of even beginning to hope to read it.

However, if you allow the water to settle down to total stillness, you can peer through it to absorb the message.

The water is your brain, moving 100,000 miles per hour.

The stillness comes from providing your brain with the opportunity to achieve some stillness.

One of the best ways I’ve found to help my mind relax is to focus on “infrastructure.”

It’s not sexy (though I think it is), but when it’s done right, it provides the platform for serenity.

Infrastructure is about spending the time upfront to get wills and directives in order, organize finances BEFORE tax season, cleaning out physical and digital files, knowing where critical supplies are in your house, investing-if you can-in smart home automation, and 100s of other things.

It’s true that all of these, when done properly, take time.

But, more importantly, they save you much more time in the long run.

And, even better, they give you a platform for serenity.

So, you can see the message at the bottom of the glass.
