Running after what you want, you make it run away from you.
Sitting still, relaxed, open, patient...you make it run to you.
Few understand this; fewer are able to apply this.

"Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?
The Master doesn't seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
she is present, and can welcome all things."
—Tao Te Ching, 15.
