practice
"Set a goal as a momentary impulse, then immerse yourself in the joy of the present; let each step be a celebration, for the outcome will naturally unfold when you play with life."
According to Osho, set a goal only as a present-moment impulse, then forget it and play totally with the work at hand. Treat each step as the peak; results are secondary and will arrive only in the present. Action—not daydreaming—opens meditation. Drop the calculating ‘I,’ be absorbed like a child, and let the outcome unfold by itself.
Decide what you want, then stop thinking about winning and just play fully with what you’re doing right now; the result will come when it comes.
