Everybody wants to be somebody and that creates tension here – the workplace.
I’ve found that we get more when we need less.
Less approval. Less money. Less status.
The only way to know this is to give up much.
And to do it without giving up who we are.

Peace and contentment are brought about from having no attachment, in my opinion.
