Try to regard all encounters and situations, including your job, as a game, as the world of illusions. Pull back a little and enjoy it all. Do you best, but don’t fall apart if everything doesn’t pan out the way you’d like it to. Remember that things are seldom what they seem. Even skim milk masquerades as cream, and as Oscar Levant once said, “When you strip away the phony tinsel, what do you find underneath? The real tinsel.”
I came across this passage this weekend when while skimming wikiquote. And it dawned on my how well it relates to my life!
