As Devs, we often chase outcomes:
- A high-paying job ๐Ÿ’ฐ
- Landing that dream opportunity ๐ŸŒŸ
- Achieving success overnight ๐Ÿš€

- Write code because you love solving problems, not just for a paycheck.
- Learn new technologies because they excite you, not just to impress recruiters.
- Contribute to open-source to give back, not just to build a flashy rรฉsumรฉ.

When you detach from the outcome and commit fully to the journey, youโ€™ll not only grow as a developer but also find peace and fulfillment in your work.
So, my fellow Devs, letโ€™s embrace this wisdomโ€”focus on our Karma, trust the process, and let success follow naturally.

Whatโ€™s one thing youโ€™ll focus on today without worrying about the outcome? Letโ€™s discuss in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡
