I know that life will bring certain obstacles, that my intellect will be pulled and distracted. I also know what the result will be when I fall into thinking too much about these obstacles or blaming the drama of life for any mishaps. Knowing all of this, I can choose to observe all of life’s situations, seeing how each scene is inviting me to develop a special virtue or quality needed. Today let me enjoy the power of a non-reactive, peaceful state of mind.
