| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2,318 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.2 | I'm Mary Mechley and I welcome you back to day 6 of the series we're exploring this week. |
| 0:15.4 | This week is all about what is referred to as the 80-20 principle and how you live your life. |
| 0:26.0 | It's also the same principle I became familiar with when I studied the Japanese tea ceremony in Japan. |
| 0:35.0 | And you are following along this week with the book by the 15th Grand Team Master of Japan, Sin Sochitsu. |
| 0:45.0 | His book is called Tea Life, Tea Mind. |

| 2:06.0 | or to allow others a little more slack to be more patient with yourself and the world. |
| 2:14.0 | Your challenge is to apply the 80-20 principle to some aspect of your life. |
| 2:23.0 | This couldn't have come at a better time for me personally in my own life. |
