The Zen of Attraction

Ten Principles To The Zen Of Attraction

1. Promise Nothing. Just do what you most enjoy doing. Hidden benefit: You will always over-deliver.
2. Offer Nothing. Just share what you have with those who express an interest in it. Hidden benefit: Takes the pressure off of wanting other people to see you as valuable or important.
3. Expect Nothing. Just enjoy what you already have. It’s plenty. Hidden benefit: You will realize how complete your life is already.
4. Need Nothing. Just build up your reserves and your needs will disappear. Hidden benefit: You boundaries will be extended and filled with space.
5. Create Nothing. Just respond well to what comes to you. Hidden benefit: Openness.
6. Hype Nothing. Just let quality sell by itself. Hidden benefit: Trustability.
7. Plan Nothing. Just take the path of least resistance. Hidden benefit: Achievement will become effortless.
8. Learn Nothing. Just let your body absorb it all on your behalf. Hidden benefit: You will become more receptive to what you need to know in the moment.
9. Become No One. Just be more of yourself. Hidden benefit: Authenticity.
10. Change Nothing. Just tell the truth and things will change by themselves. Hidden benefit: Acceptance.

Be yourself to see yourself to free yourself to be your Self.

"I think many people reading this will not understand the meaning of “nothing” as it relates to Zen ... unless, of course, you’ve studied some Buddhism. Shunyata, or emptiness, is the central Buddhist notion that all things are empty, impermanent, devoid of an essence, and characterized by suffering. This doesn’t mean to take the view of nihilism, rather, to see beyond the illusion through the practice of awakening. Take the red pill. :)

"It’s really tough to get the concept of Shunyata intellectually because it requires some diligent practice and probably some direct Satori experience.

"If for nothing else, let this post be a way to stretch the mind or to temporarily practice something that may seem counterintuitive."
