Thought of the Week
Whatever you do, remember to be fully satisfied with the mere fact of having done so, and that somebody else received it. Since doing so will be always in your control, and will reward you with profound fulfillment of service & compassion.
But do not crave “the third thing” (craving the reward, the appreciation, the praise, or anything in that line). Since that is not in your control. And conditioning your fulfillment to anything else than yourself, will position yourself in a position of needy transactionality that most of the time will make your life miserable by disappointment.
