Opportunities for goodness

Some things you can change for the better, and others you can’t. Your effectiveness, your peace of mind, your levels of satisfaction and fulfillment depend on knowing the difference.

If you can improve the situation, take action. If nothing you do will make a difference, move on to something else.

Put your time and energy where they can make a positive contribution. Engage in pursuits that bring new value into the world.

There’s never a good outcome when you spend your days filled with resentment and bitterness about what you can never change. You have too many opportunities to waste even a moment of your life with such negativity.

Accept the reality of what has happened, of what is. Decide to identify meaningful portions of that reality where you can make a difference, and go to work.

Always, there’s something good you can do. Let go of what’s beyond you, and let the available opportunities for goodness pull you forward.
