The middle of the journey, when we no longer see the land we left and we can't quite see the land we're attempting to reach, when it's difficult to measure progress and probabilities, when fear and doubt and stress begin to settle in, that's when our mind is least useful.

These are the moments when quieting the mind and removing the noise allows us to be truly present. Not fearing the unknown future or regretting the no-longer existing past, but right there, in that moment. And it's in that moment that we can act, not out of fear but out of clarity, because we see the moment for what it is, rather than what the mind makes it to be.
