Point
Five– Evaluating the Practice
I’m someone who considers herself directionally dysfunctional; I get easily turned around and lose my way without specific landmarks. The
trend of including a GPS navigational device in cars has been a godsend for
someone like me. Not only are maps included, but a voice can give turn-by-turn instructions
to keep me moving in the right direction. Thankfully if I do turn down a wrong
road, the GPS doesn’t respond by saying, “Are you a complete idiot?! Have you
got rocks in your head?!” Instead the voice calmly suggests I might want to take the
next exit so I can get back on track. In the same way, slogans 19 through 22
help me to honestly assess my practice with kindness and gentleness. Their
purpose is not to label my efforts a success or failure. Instead, their
guidance helps me refine my practice.
