Making the Products You Buy ... Better

9/13/2017

 
Picture
A few years ago, well, in the late 1980's / early 1990's, BASF, the German chemical company (they stopped making cassette tapes years ago) ran an advertising campaign with the tag line - 
We don't make a lot of the products you buy.  We make a lot of the products you buy, better.
And so it is with Mindfulness. Mindfulness doesn't try to change or make anything different, or better; not the world, not us.  It's far more radical than that.

The natural ingredient of Mindfulness is just about being.  How to ... be, first.  How to do "being-ness." as Kabat-Zinn says.  In the world, anywhere.

Then, though nothing has changed, everything's different.  For the better.

The goal of every act is happiness itself,
Though, even with great wealth, it’s rarely found.
So take your pleasure in the excellence of others.
Let them be a heartfelt joy to you.
