This Zen parable is for someone for whom I’ve been talking for a while.
A man once went to a Zen master and asked; ‘Master, I must seek liberation.’
The teacher asked, ‘Who binds you?’
The student answered; ‘I do not know. Perhaps I bind myself.’
So the teacher replied, ‘In that case, why seek liberation of me? In summer we sweat; in winter we shiver.’
And the student thought: ‘He is speaking of a secret place where our only problem is the seasons of the year.’
Looking for Solutions?
Are you looking for a life coach to help you overcome your challenges?
I still get a lot of emails from my readers who ask me for personal coaching. While I appreciate your trust in me, I don't have the means at the moment to provide adequate coaching.
If you're looking for solutions, I recommend you post at the Anthony Robbins Forums. Over there you'll find a large group of motivated, intelligent and loving people who will be more than willing to help you improve your life.

Yeah, we continue to hit every link related to a post, looking for the answer and realize the answer is the post. So I clicked on ‘leave a response’ to thank you for taking me around in a circle so I’d realize “in summer we sweat, in winter we shiver”.
