Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect praise

Summary

This quote encourages the practice of detachment and selflessness in our actions. It urges us to approach tasks with a mind that is free from expectations and the desire for recognition or reward. By embodying this attitude, we can focus on the importance of the work itself, rather than seeking external validation. It reminds us to cultivate a mindset of pure dedication and integrity, doing what needs to be done without seeking personal gain or approval, ultimately finding fulfillment in the act of doing rather than in any external validation.
