Focus on the present moment. Worrying about tomorrow will not make tomorrow anything different than would otherwise be. The only way you can change what happens is by changing how you meet it. What else are you able to adjust otherwise? I have never seen anyone worry hard enough to change the future. I have tried that, and nothing good happens there. Instead, it is always what happens once we do meet the day which alters events, and that is up to us to decide.

So, instead of worrying about what might happen, think about how absolutely incredible it is that you are a living being capable of contemplating the cosmos, and that whatever you meet tomorrow you will do so as an extension of the cosmos itself trying to rationalize reality. You’re doing just fine. Keep doing your best to be a good human being - give others some slack because they either don’t mean to mess up or they’re not worth your time if they do it intentionally, and most importantly remember that how you categorize what you experience is not always what has actually happened.

Check yourself as you judge an event or person, because you are human - and humans make mistakes.

It is not enough

to want to be virtuous.

The work is required.

And it’s not one act;

a lifetime of improvement

can be expected.

To live in this way,

I must serve the good of All,

and love what happens.

I must see pitfalls

as chances to build up strength

where I’m deficient,

be unmoved by fate

when it arrives differently

than for what I planned,

and, regardless of

the outcome of events, be

grateful for it all.

Live the way you think,

but first be sure that your mind

works for good to All.

The difference between

brooding and reflecting is

direction of thought.

Brooding is backwards,

spiraling fast out of control

without an intent.

It reminisces,

wishing things turned out better,

casting blame and doubt.

Reflecting serves us -

it extracts useful pieces

of experience.

It helps us to grow,

to see how what we have done

can teach us to live.

So - to think forward,

consider how your choices

improve character.

Let the past inform

who you’ll be in the present;

don’t let it rule you.

Today, you might meet

rude ignorant, callous, vile,

and awful people.

Not everybody

will be considerate, and

they may be vicious.

“But does this all mean

that my day is forfeit now?

That I am worse off?”

Only if you choose

to agree with that judgement

of these impressions.

No one can hurt you -

no thief, driver, or stranger -

without your consent.

So, do not give it!

Reflect their angst as kindness -

it is what they’re due.

We know not their lives.

All we know is who we are -

a fellow human.

I finally got the Cenotaph to drop for me yesterday, and I gotta tell you - it’s a blast in PVE with coldheart and an ionic trace build. Double arc reserves and arc siphon with blinding explosions on my arc subclass is nuts! strong single target damage as well as crazy ad control, you’ve gotta try it if you happen to have the helmet.
