Achieve Quote by Rebecca Zinn
““There is no goal, nowhere to get to, nothing to achieve. All that you seek, no matter how great or small, is merely entertainment, diversion, or exercise along the way. It is of no consequence. Yet you must do it. That is the secret. You must do your work, you must help others, you must grow your plants, and you must write. You must do all those things, and yet those things will lead you no place that you are not right now.””
