Ask yourself Quote by T Joseph Benziger
“Take events logically one by one; ask yourself what is your dharma pertaining to a given event; and do it; and move on to the next event. After having finished your obligation on a subject, thank God for having been able to do it; and keep your mind free to tackle the next event with full vigor. If you try to carry something of everything in the form of guilt, anger, disappointment or sorrow, the accumulated mental load would crush you in due course. You will become a melancholic or bad-tempered person.”
