Goal for the Day: Mind Your Own Business

It’s easy to become interested in things that don’t concern us. Most of us live in relatively close proximity to other people, so it’s hard to avoid becoming involved in what other people are doing. Let’s say, for example, that your neighbors still haven’t taken down their Christmas decorations. It’s March! Every time you leave you house, it might be irritating to you to see those horrible icicle lights fluttering in the Spring breeze. Troublesome though it might be, it doesn’t really concern you.


It’s our lot in life to be unconcerned with the activities of other people. If the people around us are behaving in ways that we wouldn’t, but are nonetheless harmless, just ignore them. Instead, focus your energy on your own home and family. You have the power to make your world whatever you want it to be. All you have to do is leave the rest of the world to itself.
