Do Your Best & Then Have Rest · Don't Be a Half-Baked Potato
⁘ “All of it done with full attention, full absorption, wholehearted engagement. It's not the fruits that lead to satisfaction. Full engagement of your potential does. You've done your best — and that's enough. There you have peace.”
Much has been done, much yet remains to be done.
All of it done with full attention,
full absorption, wholehearted engagement.
Whatever the outcomes may or may not be,
it's not the fruits that lead to satisfaction.
The process itself, the full engagement of your potential,
that is the source of satisfaction.
The simple awareness that you've done your best,
and that's enough, and in that there is peace.
Pouring all that I have into all that is required,
making the most of whatever that I encounter.
What else is one to do?
Live like a half-baked potato?
No thank you.
The fires that burn, they also transform you.
Nothing at all would ever cross your path
if you had nothing that connects with it.
All of our potentials are meant to be engaged.
