SPI 678: Buddha Board

Pat Flynn
About this episode

#678 Today's episode is about as Zen as I ever get here on the show. You see, I was trying out my daughter's Buddha Board—a drawing surface meant to promote mindfulness—and it taught me a very important lesson. Nowadays, many of us are more preoccupied with capturing the moment than we are with living it. That's where the Buddha Board comes in as a way to create and watch your work fade away into nothingness a few minutes later. I'll read you some funny Amazon reviews highlighting just how troubling this concept is for some people. But, our innate aversion aside, mastering the art of letting go can be therapeutic and a major asset in business and entrepreneurship. So listen in on this session because I want us to go through a real-time exercise in presence. Join me, tap into your senses, and take it all in!
