Necessary Discomfort
The agitation most people feel when they first
try to meditate is a necessary step on the path, and
shouldn't be taken as proof that one "can't
meditate." Until you can be comfortable doing
nothing, everything you choose to do will be vaguely
uncomfortable. Going within is the first step to
serenity. Once you've mastered your scattered mind
through meditation and have out sat your discomfort,
you'll gain insight and wisdom you'd never have had
otherwise. Make the commitment to learn how to
meditate, then be willing to be uncomfortable for a
while. Beyond that discomfort lies everything you
want.
"Stop thinking and talking, and there's nothing you
can't know" -The Third Zen Patriarch
