To let go and appreciate that which you have, for always, if you get that which you want you will always want more. Greediness is not a peace of mind. It is paradoxal, but it's the first paradox for me that makes sense.
The moment contains love.
I have infinite gratitude for my current experiences.
another thought might be from the hindu tradition:
"concentrate on nurturing the tree, not on harvesting the fruit. The fruit will come as it may, and is a consequence of the care of the tree."
Quote:Krishna said, "Arjuna, you have work to do. Do it! But give up all interest in the fruit of your work." Krishna did not say that there would be no fruit. The fruit will certainly be there. Every action has its consequence or fruit. But the fruit is not your concern; you should not aspire for it. Therefore, the essence of Krishna's teaching is that you must do your duty, but do it without keeping the outcome in mind.
I think Jim Kent was asking the same thing in his Harvest thread.
namaste.
