There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. So you have to begin there, not outside, not on other people. --Aldous Huxley
Taking responsibility for our own attitudes, actions, and neglects is far more difficult than managing and directing other people's lives.
Giving advice to another, for example, is much easier than practicing what we preach. If we would apply our advice to our own lives, we would have less time to criticize, correct, or interfere in someone else's difficulties. Moreover, we would be amazed at how many alternatives we have within our own grasp that could solve, or at least alleviate, the problems in our lives.
TODAY - Let me realize I am far more positive and productive when I concentrate my efforts and thoughts on changing myself and my own actions. God, give me the courage to act on my internal wisdom that you have placed within me.
Aww Larry, do I really have to take responsibility for myself? LOL For me, this falls into the category of self honesty. Still one of the hardest things for me to do. Thanks for the small reminder that I'm still a work in progress.
