00:00When it comes to deadlines, I have a lot of racing thoughts that's caused me to have palpitations.
00:07How can I be peaceful when I have to meet deadlines?
00:11What if we could break that deadline into something more immediate?
00:15Let's say there is something that you have to deliver or submit on the 15th day from today.
00:21What if you break down the whole thing to just see how much is to be done in the next two hours?
00:27I don't want to look at what is to be done tomorrow.
00:31I only want to see how much is to be done in these two hours.
00:34Would you be equally anxious still?
00:36If I start thinking of what is to be done till day end or month end or year end, I'll be bogged down.
00:43The very thought will be so heavy I'll be crushed under it.
00:46Are you kidding?
00:47Look at this moment.
00:49Look near and you are home.
00:50They say those who have to go far, they just keep looking at their feet.
00:54This was said about the Buddha also, that when he was walking, he was just looking at the ground, just three steps ahead of him, not beyond that.
01:03The Buddha would not look this way into the horizon.
01:06Break it down.
01:07Just ask yourself how much is to be done right now and that's all.
01:12Beyond that I don't bother.
01:13Beyond that I don't think so, that way too.
01:31I don't think so, I'm going to see how much is going to go up with me.
