In this week's episode, I'm discussing chapter three of my book "The Zen of Learning to Ride a Motorcycle", which is the #3 Zen Principle of Good Motorcycle Riding Habits: To Think and Plan Ahead, and Take Care of Your Future Self.When we do thing like use credit cards, leave dirty dishes in the sink, or when we don't wear all of our motorcycle gear, we are "stealing from our future selves". When we take care of our daily responsibilities, and when we wear our motorcycle gear, we are taking care of our future selves, and we can fully enjoy the present moment.I'm both in the process of taking care of my future and present self.
