Today

Today. It was a very important day. Why? Because it was not, in any singular way, similar to yesterday. Maybe you have the same job you did yesterday as you did today, but the events of that job were different. No matter what happens, the knitty-gritty events of each day will always be different. No two days will ever be the same. We will always have variation, and this is what makes life unpredictable. Without variation, we would hold all of the cards in our hands. We would control more than we are capable of being responsible for. It is our job to learn that we can only control our actions and responses, and not only give up any attempts to control the actions and responses of others, but to never be angry or stop trying because we cannot control what we cannot control. Take what is in your power and act on it. Stability comes from knowing the bounds of your own power.
