Daily Reading - For Today

"When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere." Francois de La Rochefoucould Surely something, someone can fix me. A little this, a little that, a new combination, a new person or place, a new goal. Can you fix me? The question, in a thousand different guises, is still asked. The wise person answers, 'I would if I could, my friend, but - as it is for me - the problem is within.' It is not the weather, the dog, the neighbors, my house, my spouse or lack of spouse, my job or lack of one; it is within me. Nothing on the outside changes that. When I m feeling bad about myself, I can put the blame on anything and everything. When I am feeling good about myself, I accept all things that make up my life on the outside. For today: I am completely honest in taking stock of myself so I can learn why i feel as I do about myself.
