As the Archer aims the arrow, the wise person aims the restless mind. Meditation is the bow that gives direction to the soul.
Dhammapada
Verse 33
Meaning:
A mind that is not trained will wander in every direction, wasting energy on useless thoughts. Practice is the process of sharpening our focus so that our mental power can be directed toward the highest truth.

Daily Application

Before you start any task today, take one minute to visualize your goal. By intentionally aiming your mind, you prevent the day from becoming a series of random distractions.
