When an archer is shooting for nothing
He has all his skill.
If he shoots for a brass buckle
He is already nervous
If he shoots for a prize of gold
He goes blind
Or he sees two targets-
He is out of his mind!
His skill has not changed. But the prize
Divides him. He cares.
He thinks more of winning
Then of shooting-
And the need to win
Drains him of power.
Thomas Merton, The Way Of Chuang Tzu
