The Advent of Excellence

I now know why I had problems living the Buddhist life

I simply wasn't living it and wasn't trying. I am still living in excess. I still lived the life of greed and envy. I wasn't trying. The reason I couldn't meditate properly was because I had music, tv or games blasting in the background. 

And the reason I had trouble with the urges of the matterial was because I placed too much importance on the material and surrounded myself with the material.

I've been reading http://zenhabits.net/ and slowly trying to makes these habits mine. The first thing I did was clean my room. I will slowly add more as time passes by.
