Reflection for today, for life

A verse from the Tao Te Ching

verse 9

fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill
keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt
chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench
care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner

do your work, then step back
the only path to serenity
