I cannot do everything, so I need to focus on what I can.
Remembering that even my smallest deed can impact others.
Also remember that not being able to do something one hundred percent doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t try at all.
Before trying to fix that which is wrong around me, I need to work on that which is wrong inside me.
Instead of drifting aimlessly through today, I will reflect on what needs to be done and what can be improved on.
Remember that how I spend my time today will determine what I will become in my tomorrows.
If something is going to happen today, worry will not stop it.
If something is not going to happen, worry will have wasted my time and energy.
The obstacles that I will encounter today were not created by others, but by me…
Realizing this, I will not blame the messenger, but will accept my karmic consequences.
Instead of competing with and trying to surpass others, I will instead help them to succeed.
Understand that their gain does not have to mean that I have lost.
I will do the right thing not because I expect to change the world but because it is the right thing to do.
