Stay Focused: Avoid Toxicity with This Ancient Zen Lesson

Once a young monk approached his master and expressed his desire to leave the current temple due to toxic people. The master, curious about the situation, asked for details. The young monk explained how some monks were involved in politics, others engaged in constant negativity and gossiping. He felt unable to practice spirituality in such an environment and requested permission to find a more peaceful place. The master agreed but gave him one last task - carrying a spoonful of water around the monastery without spilling it. After successfully completing the task, the young monk returned with no knowledge of any negative talk or gossip. The master smiled and taught him that staying focused on our goals helps us ignore negativity around us. Let's remember that what we focus on becomes our reality! #Positivity #FocusOnGoals
