Quotes #20 : Why you should do what you like


"To action alone hast thou a right and never at all to its fruits; let not the fruits of action be thy motive; neither let there be in thee any attachment to inaction" Bhagavad Gita
I cannot control the results of my action. I can't control how someone reacts to what I say or what I do. 
I should do what I do just because it is something I want to do rather than because of some outcome I'd like. 
But at the same time I should not let these two ideas lead me to become passive and get stuck in sitting on my hands and not taking action at all.
Basically, I do what I think is right and that is my responsibility. And then the rest (the possible results), well, that is not up for me to decide about or try to control. I let it go.
