Profound Thoughts - The Power of Active Stillness and Willingness to Wait

Nancy has a theory that greater consonance or integration of a person's personality leads to greater happiness. So, a person is happier if his actions are ones he believes are morally good. And he is unhappier if he believes his actions are reprehensible.

Being engaged while still and being willing to wait both require some courage. They require an ownership of the dance similar to the ownership of who you are as a person.

Mark Twain - Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.

We suggest practicing one single combination that you particularly like over and over. Do it until you are so comfortable with it that you are confident you can do it well. Then pick a pretty random place inside the combination and just stop completely. Stay engaged and connected and just wait. Feel that you are building suspense for the part of the combination that comes after and watch if you become more comfortable with this idea of waiting.
