I Can Be A Better Me

A Norvell Note Vol. 20 No. 38 | September 24, 2018

On a daily basis, I try to remind myself that there are many things I simply cannot do…

I cannot rid the world of evil, for example, or undo the wrongs done to innocent people

I cannot prevent hurricanes, massive flooding, or mass shootings.

I cannot stop the ugly rhetoric of government leaders and political parties.

I cannot take away the aching hearts of parents who lose a child or those of children who lose their parents.

I cannot make people act or think the way I think they should act or think.

And on a daily basis, I also try to remind myself of the things I can do.

I can focus on the things and people who are true, admirable, and lovely…those worthy of praise.

I can be an example of love and peace, patience and kindness, faithfulness and gentleness.

I can let gentleness be evident to all people because I know God is near.

I can stop complaining and arguing and do my best to live so that I shine like a star in the universe.

I can be a better me. On a daily basis, I can do my best to be a better me.

And that is enough.
