3. TODAY IN MY LIFE
With my intentions clear, essential disciplines established and focus set, I'm very much in "let's just get on with it" mode. However I did come across a useful graphic which I have posted on my Business Page, which reminded me that the present is not for fixing a broken past, but for making something new and better. I found that very motivating and uplifting, and intend to keep it in mind.

9. ZEN WISDOM
The problems confronting humankind are daunting in their depth and complexity. While it may be hard to see where to begin—or how—we must never give in to cynicism or paralysis. We must each initiate action in the direction we believe to be right. We must refuse the temptation to passively accommodate ourselves to present realities and embark upon the challenge of creating a new reality.
