We live in a fast-changing world where visionaries promote a future others cannot see; however, these changes also create opportunities for “doom and gloomers” to promote their negative visions, as they cannot see the opportunities change brings but only the insecurity of what they are leaving behind. It is why the same stock market has buyers and sellers. Some see visions of bulls charging ahead while others see bears roaring and mauling.
What I can promise you is this: today’s world offers us unlimited possibilities if we are willing to change and charge ahead with the opportunities offered to us.
There is a saying in India held as a parable of truth among the people. It is such a quieting and reassuring truth that says, “You have control over your work alone, never the fruit.” We do have control over our vision of the work we desire to do and how it can contribute to people’s lives, but we do not have control over the fruit. If we (you) only look at the fruit, you will never truly look at what you do or see how it fits into the purpose of your life and that of your customer. Perhaps the fruit is not there as you would desire, but if you will focus on what you do as being the correct thing to do, the fruit will follow.
When we do the right things consistently without focusing on the fruit or increase, but knowing it will come, we can live less stressful lives. You are an intelligent person. You will define this message in the many ways it can affect your life. Meditate on this powerful truth quietly each day so that you may focus on your work alone, and not on the fruit. You will find the joy of giving and the abundance of receiving from your work.
