Perception, Action and Will

July 19, 2021•125 words

Perception

Look at things in an objective manner; not deciding if it is right or wrong. Practice indifference for the things that deserve indifference.

Keep a rational mind at all times.

Action

For the things within your control, act in a just manner. Act justly and respectfully to the people around you. Treat them how they deserve to be treated.

Treat this person as they should be treated.

Will

For the things not within your control, realize that it can't hurt your inner character and soul. Only if you allow it to will it do you harm. At all costs, preserve your inner citadel from the outside world. Mediate on the importance of strong character and will.

Accept this event with humility.
