Do Your Work & Step Back

From Zen Habits: The Tao of Productivity

Fill your bowl to the brim.....

and it will spill.

Keep sharpening your knife.....

and it will go blunt.

Chase after money and security.....

and your heart will never unclench.

Care about people's approval.....

and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back.

The only path to serenity.
