The minute the meditation is over and the prayer is over and my eyes open, the self-talking, unsatisfiable, fault-finding, opinionated mind starts kicking in and says, okay, all right, we meditated for 20 minutes. Now let's go make some money. Or it starts finding fault with what it's seeing and it starts telling me what it doesn't like, what should be different. All I need to do is sit and breathe like I was doing with my eyes closed. And now I'm doing it with my eyes open. Just allowing this moment to be exactly the way this moment is supposed to be.
