One day, a young student approached his Zen master and asked, "Master, how can I find my way in life?" The master replied, "Do you see that rock in the distance?" The student nodded, and the master continued, "If you focus your gaze on that rock and walk towards it with intention and clarity, you will find your way. But if you let your mind wander and lose your focus, you may stumble and lose your path."
The student pondered this for a moment before asking, "But Master, what if there are obstacles in my way?" The master replied, "If you are truly focused on your goal, you will see the obstacles as opportunities to learn and grow. They will become part of your journey, not roadblocks to your destination."
The student nodded in understanding and set off toward the rock. With
each step, he focused his gaze and his mind, and soon he arrived at his
destination. And at that moment, he realized that by staying focused, he
had not only found his way, but he had also discovered the power of his
own mind.
