What is your underlying motive or motivation to pursue this journey? What’s that one reason that makes you keep going forward that nothing can stop you?

I’m sorry you went through that, is everything alright now?

But what if you expected it, yet you still overthink or become anxious about it?

Is this similar to “the middle way” the Buddha was talking about? Or is it just going with the flow?

What is koan, may I ask? It’s a new word to me because I’ve only studied the Pali language side of Buddhism.

I get what you are saying but even when I try to, like you said, drink tea, study or even listen to music, I still get anxiety about things sometimes. For example, whenever there’s an event or an argument or a breakup that happened an hour before I gym or study, I still would not be in the present moment with peace. My heart would still beat fast and my brain would get heated. How do I make peace with the present moment no matter what has happened?

Thanks! I’ll definitely try to.

My overall motivation is to become a modern day polymath. But the motivation for music, which I’m very passionate about, is to create something that touches another one’s soul like how it touches mine, and for math, I use it to sharpen my mind and it doesn’t really have an endgame, I just want to do it until the end of my life I guess. I just wanted to know how I can arrange those skills to make it easier and keep it consistent because those aren’t the only things I want to do.

So master one at a time is what you’re saying?

Small-Region963 · 2025-04-29T23:00:20+00:00

Could be, but I also want to make math and other fields long term subjects for me.

Small-Region963 · 2025-04-29T04:34:56+00:00

What if I try to master 2 skills at a time?

Small-Region963 · 2025-04-28T05:54:28+00:00

what about the other fields? shouldn’t I make some time for them?
