Today, I did meditation for 20 minutes in my room. At first, I thought meditating for 20 minutes would be easy. However, I found out that concentrating on one thought in a spot is very hard to do. I can spend hours sitting on my chair while doing my homework, listening to music, or chatting with others. But during the meditation, I did nothing and tried to empty my mind to seek life’s truths. I thought about the eightfold path such as right thoughts, right mindfulness, and right concentration. At first, I decided to think about my life since it was not easy for me to seek what the life’s truth. After I thought about my life, I tried to connect it to the life’s truth. However, I thought that I cannot identify the truth since I do not know my whole life. And, I thought that people would find out what the life’s truth for them is by living their lives. After 10 minutes, I started to lose my concentration because many other thoughts came to my mind. In addition, I started to get sleepy so I spent the rest of 5 minutes trying not to fall asleep. From this meditation, I did not get any inspiration and I do not even know whether I did it correctly. I think that I need to practice meditating constantly in order to receive any inspiration. However, thinking about life became a good experience for me.
