So the point of meditation is not to try to achieve anything.

It's to be cool with whatever is happening.

And that is like a radical move, especially for very ambitious type A people who are trying to win at a thing.

And so it's a big struggle that many people have.

So what you want to do is learn to be cool with the distractions.

And to see that the distractions are not a problem, they're actually, that's actually the moment where you're succeeding.

To understand that over time, as you see what your mind is really doing, the light bill, the shades are broken, you're planning a homicide, whatever it is, you're becoming more.

That too.

Yes, of course.

And that you're becoming more familiar with the wildness of your own mind so that when you're not meditating and your mind feeds you up a terrible idea,

you don't act it out blindly.

And that, I think, is the money shot.

Your mother's right.

I mean, that is, and tuning in to what it is

is a way not to struggle with reality.

We spend so much of our time, you know, hurling ourselves into the next hit of dopamine, the next pleasurable activity, checking things off of our to-do list.

But we've, you know, how many summers do you think we have left?

You know?

We could not do this in our old jobs.

Right.
