I noticed that " money " was a very tormenting master. I noticed that " future " was a very tormenting master. I saw that working " for " money, working " for " future was in fact, a great drain and a constant torture. On the other hand, working to add some " value " or to " create " a service or thing... had totally another dimension. And, working because of Love, Happiness Or Joy was in fact... a Great Blessing! I noticed that taking " ownership " for results was in fact, an unnecessary weight and it created a tiring pressure, taking responsibility to serve noble values and principles on the other hand, was quite empowering. > > > I noticed that focusing on results, > working to achieve certain results, > sucked energy out of me.

I found that single-minded focus was a Great Joy in itself and was the greatest attainment of a mindful action. It was a great blessing and privilege to be able to work with complete focus. Thoughts of " future " and " results " distract from that single-minded focus and as a result rob us of the joy of the single- mindedness.
