And Buddhism does not reject the will to try, just the attatchment to that trying. Don't hold onto it, or anything, because it is impermanent, and that attatchment leads to suffering. <hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
This is a good rule to follow regardless of your faith. It is not in our pursuit of goals that huts us, it's our "we must have this or all is lost" feeling. That is all this is meant to prevent. Very healthy.
