If we approach life as an experiment, then we are willing to try things this way and that way, either way we have nothing to lose. The trick is not to get caught up in hope and fear, remember if it is time for something to flourish it will, if not it won’t, keep experimenting.

Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. If you seek people’s approval, you become bound to them. Share with others these teachings and you will be immersed in the blessings that come from that. Do your work and step back, let it be; this is the path to serenity.
By watching the workings of nature and the meaning of its laws, the underlying workings of the universe will enable you to give expression to those workings in your own person. By watching the actions of others, this will allow you to put yourself in another’s place and understand their motives.
