When you do something for the sheer joy of doing it, rather than to strengthen your identity, not only is your approach different, the result is too. Doing for the pure pleasure it gives you involves no stress because you’re not attached to any particular outcome. When you don’t need the world to reflect a desired version of yourself back to you to be happy, you’re free. When you embody this approach, there’s no gap between the doing and the receiving. The work…

Is the reward.
