Having possibilities but not fixed outcomes for the day

That is why the sage can act without effort
and teach without words,
nurture things without possessing them,
and accomplish things without expecting merit:

only one who makes no attempt to possess it, cannot lose it.

Lao Tzu

One thought on “Having possibilities but not fixed outcomes for the day”

It takes few desires to be happy must be true.

Possession leads,to control and control of impermanent things leads to loss.

Vacate that desire and free yourself.

Does satisfaction last from fulfilling a desire, any desire?

What is the longest satisfaction from a desire you have experienced?
