3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I'm acutely aware of triumph and tragedy going on all the time. It's important to be aware of it, and where appropriate to respond, but mostly to be unattached to it. All this joy and pain is a backdrop to one's own story, and it is THAT story on which one must be focused. There will be joy and pain enough in your own!

In my own story, every moment has opportunities to make a difference, and it's on those opportunities that I need to devote my energies. In doing that, plenty of others will be helped. I feel no guilt in letting go of matters beyond my control, and handing those over to my "Higher Self", so freeing up my consciousness to focus upon the point in space and time where I am.

In my nondualist philosophy, I am the Universe made conscious of a single pixel of itself. On this pixel it can work and also view itself in all its vastness - awesome! It's a joy to play this character once you have realized who the player is.
