Not like Pooh, the most effortless Bear we've ever seen."
"Just How do you do it, Pooh?"
"Do What?" asked Pooh.
"Become so Effortless."
"I don't do much of anything," he said.
"But all those things of yours get done."
"They just sort of happen," he said"
Some of you are wondering where I am going with this and others might know of the subject.
It takes me a LONG time to read a book...I highlight it, take notes, type them up, etc. This one I feel can change you from the inside out and is quite and easy and quick read (unless you are like me).
So WHY do I recommend this book? It teaches you how to think much more simple and to CALM YOUR MIND, which I think we all need. And how you ask???
By being more like Winnie the Pooh. The book "Tao of Pooh" discusses all of this while the author has a conversation with Winnie. It's a very clever and very thought-provoking book.
Here are a couple more quotes to help intrigue you:
Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully. "Yes,"said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever." "And he has Brain." "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain." There was a long silence. "I suppose," said Pooh, "that's why he never understands anything."
And finally...
"Those who do things the Pooh Way fine this sort of thing happening to them all the time. It's hard to explain, except by example, but it works. Things just happen the right way, at the right time. At least when you LET them, when you work WITH circumstances instead of saying "This isn't supposed to happen this way," and trying hard to make it happen another way."
Hope you go read it and enjoy it as much as I do.
