doing

In the true order of things one does not do something in order to be happy—one is happy and, hence, does something. One does not do some things in order to be compassionate, one is compassionate and, hence, acts in a certain way.

If you find out what it is you love to do and give your whole life to it, then there is no contradiction, and in that state your being is your doing.

Some days, it’s not about passion and courage. It’s not about heroism and drama. It’s not about slaying dragons or conjuring exotic visions. Some days, it’s not about transcendence or transformation, not about being better than anyone who came before you.

Some days, it’s simply about delicious acts of doing simple things, simply.

Who talks by silence, does the most.

Flow with whatever may happen, & let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

The more we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.

Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.

Think nothing and do nothing without a purpose directed to God, for to journey without direction is wasted effort.

When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
When actions come from another section,
the feeling disappears.

"How" is always more important that "what." See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it.
