3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
A smooth return to the Weekend Job yesterday and a good night's sleep last night have left me refreshed and thankful this morning. Settled benevolent conditions are ideal opportunities for re-grounding the focus, and to focus on my immediate goal of making a difference in each moment.

I am in the priviledged position of being able to make a significant difference to people near and far, mainly in the form of giving guidance and sharing wisdom. It's important to keep unattached, defining your success on contributions rather than specific outcomes. Inevitably, not every outcome is your preference, but the difference you make is entirely in your control and nothing else brings such deep fulfilment.

Sometimes the difference you make is simply by being there for someone. Advice and guidance are not always appropriate to offer directly. Eveyone must find their own way, and the input of others must be invited or simply left to discover. The Information Revolution, which has been a fantastic priviledge to witness, has been a superb opportunity for me to put out teaching and wisdom for others to find.

9. THE WISDOM I'VE LEARNED FROM OTHERS
"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim; accept no ones definition of your life; define yourself."
- Harvey Fierstein
