“When like the patriarchs we learn to dig wells of virtue and spiritual knowledge within ourselves by means of ascetic practice and contemplation, we will find within us Christ the spring of life (cf. Gen. 26:15-18). Wisdom commands us to drink from this spring, saying, 'Drink water from your own pitchers and from the spring of your own wells' (Prov. 5:15). If we do this we shall find that the treasures of wisdom truly are within us.” IfsWellsMeanChristianSpiritualChristWaterPracticeVirtueDrinkSpringTreasureCommandContemplationOrthodoxPitcherCfsDrink WaterSpiritual Knowledge Author:Maximus the Confessor

“I go to practice each and every day, but my intensity is not the same. If I get tired, I'll go sit down. If I want some water, I'll go drink it. When I'm in training camp, I don't. I've got to push through being tired. I've got to push through being uncomfortable. That's really it. It's largely a mentality. You kind of flip that switch and turn your intensity up. Your heart rate goes up. Your reps go up. And you start to get in the frame of mind.” IfsWantMindHeartKindTurnsWaterPracticeDrinkTrainingTiredRateUncomfortableCampsIntensityMentalityFlipFrame Of MindHeart RateTraining Camp Author:Chael Sonnen

“A fish swims in the ocean, and no matter how far it swims there is no end to the water. A bird flies in the sky, and no matter how far it flies there is no end to the air. However the fish and the bird have never left their elements. Thus each of them totally covers its full range, and each of them totally experiences its realm... Know that water is life and air is life. The bird is life and the fish is life. Life must be the bird and life must be the fish... practice, enlightenment and people are like this.” PeopleKnowsEndsMatterLeftWaterPracticeAirSkyElementsOceanBirdEnlightenmentFishesRangeRealmsSwimWater Is Life Author:Dogen
