Complete; Don't Compete
Eknath Eswaran; how to find happiness: pg 17
continuing on the formula of Joy = Give/Expect;
let us discuss about expectations; the great expectations; and how I need to reduce that to zero;
and not only that I need to complement the expectations by giving;
Buddha says: " don't ask how much you can get, but how much you can give, in every way possible ; in kitchen ,in garden , in store, in office, everywhere"
Eswaran says: as a result of completing others, and not competing, i don't feel any tension or fatigue"
To Give is inside-out; you have it in your control;
To expect is outside-in; you don't have any control; so don't expect; stop expecting; that is way to Joy!
