Do it one better
+++++++++++++++++++
Accept what is, accept what comes. Then do it one better.
You’re not going to fix all that’s wrong in the world. Yet you can constantly improve yourself and many of the things around you.
If everything was already perfect you’d have nothing useful to do. Embrace the imperfection along with the good work it calls you to take on.
Proceed under whatever conditions exist. Discover that each day offers plenty of opportunities to thrive, to experience fulfillment.
Present yourself as a willing participant in each moment as it unfolds. Notice your eagerness to do the good you can do.
Whether you encounter ups or downs, joys or disappointments, always be willing and able to respond in a positive manner. Take what is, and do it one better.
