| 0:07.0 | I'm Mary Mechley and I welcome you back to day three of our series. |
| 0:13.4 | We're exploring this week, this week you are immersing yourself in a journey that might |
| 0:22.2 | be a little uncomfortable. |
| 0:25.3 | This is where you begin to apply a principle that I'm sharing with you that I learned |
| 0:32.7 | while studying the Japanese tea ceremony in Japan and it is the 80-20 ritual. |
| 0:41.4 | Now there is an 80-20 principle, Pareto's principle, where it is noted that 20% of the effort |

| 0:59.8 | Well in regard to the Japanese tea ceremony, the concept 80-20 has more to do with allowing |

| 1:58.8 | are happening and you might begin to lose your confidence and the stability of the world. |
| 2:06.4 | So allow a 20% buffer so that you can roll with life's punches a little better. |
| 2:14.0 | I'm following along with a very special book that's one of my all-time favorites. |
| 2:20.8 | It is written by the 15th Grandmaster of the tea ceremony in Japan and his name is |
| 2:29.2 | Sochi Tsusen. |
| 2:31.0 | It's called Tea Life, Tea Mind. |
