No Prize

“When the archer shoots for no particular prize, he has all his skills; when he shoots to win a brass buckle, he is already nervous; when he shoots for a gold prize, he goes blind, sees two targets, and is out of his mind. His skill has not changed, but the prize divides him. He cares! He thinks more of winning than of shooting, and the need to win drains him of power.” -Tranxu, a great Chinese sage

Do it because you love it.

If you concentrate solely on the “love” part, everything else takes care of itself.
