Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinnby Parker on TwosThere is hardly an outward hurry. Only an inner one, usually driven by impatience and a mindless type of thinking, which varies from so subtle I have to listen carefully to detect it at all, to do dominant that almost nothing will deflect its momentumWhat is my job on the planet?What is it on this planet that needs doing that I know something about, that probably won’t happen unless I take responsibility for it?“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. Do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much of dare too much.” - Ralph Waldo EmersonIf I can’t do anything useful, at least I would like to do as little harm as possible
