It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.

Care deeply

Can you care deeply? Can you, at the same time, not care at all?

Care deeply about your purpose, your efforts, your values. Care not at all about what’s beyond your ability to influence.

Care deeply about the moment, its beauty, its possibilities, its challenges, about doing what’s right. Care not at all about what others think of what you’re doing.

Feel the power of stillness within you. Engage that power to make yourself a positive presence in life.

Always, life swirls around you. Give love, attention, effort and care to life, without getting too distracted by all the swirling.

Care deeply about what matters, about what you can do. Let all the rest take care of itself.

— Ralph Marston
