Baby Steps

I like to tell myself "I will meditate daily", "I will read the Dhammapada on a regular basis", "I will attend more Buddhist talks at university"...But I don't like to break promises. The frustration and disappointment that ensues brings home a sense of failure, and thereby negates the initial purpose of the promise. So I must be content with 'baby steps': one day at a time, one hour at a time...one moment at a time. May I live in the moment - not dwell in the past, nor fear the future, but enjoy the present.

Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā!

All journeys begin with a single step

This is my first.
