“Do Everything with a mind that lets go.

Do not expect any praise or reward. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom. Your struggles with the world will have come to an end.” ~from A Still Forest Pool by Achaan Chah compiled and edited by Jack Kornfield

Here is a video of the Venerable Achaan Chah speaking on the mindful life… Enjoy!
