Efforts, big and small, make a difference to our own lives and sometimes to those of others

To make a difference and lead a wholesome life

Accept

The first step in doing anything that we may wish to do is always acceptance of ourselves, and the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

Prioritise

One can spend a few minutes in thinking about what our priorities are.

Do not compete or ponder on what might have been.

Despair and self-pity can be crippling. Never fall prey to either of these.

Discard ego

Ego can make you a prisoner of your own self. It would help if we ask, “Is this necessary for what I wish to do,” whenever we face a difficult situation, instead of asking, “Why was I not given importance or was it not my idea?”

Remember, even a little effort makes a difference to our lives. We can make life meaningful to us, and we can do it anytime.
