It’s an important point, ditching the means-to-an-end way of thinking, I agree. What may be more fundamental, lying just under that, is that the best gate to fulfillment is only found in the NowHere, which looks like nowhere to the restless mind, ever traveling into past or future. Anchoring in our Now moment cuts off all that sort of thinking, mind’s restless wandering.

Yet show me the one content to simply Be. 😉 There’s a real joy that flows there, much different than any of mind’s pleasures.
