this is a good thought

Any kind of expectation creates a problem.
We should accept, but not expect.
Whatever comes, accept it.
Whatever goes, accept it.
The immediate benefit is that your mind is always peaceful.
~~~Sri Swami Satchidananda~~~

the thing is that we learn,

early on,

to expect to be taken care of.

it is what our parents and family do for us for quite a long time

sometimes for too long

(just read the news for examples that are current)

we have to learn to do on our own

to accept what we did on our own

to accept what we owe on our own

to accept that mistakes are our own

we need to realize that what we do matters

even the little steps we take have an impact on the bigger picture

we need to realize that what we act on

what we believe

what we react to

what we do

matters
