Sometimes the result is not what we hoped for, even after sincere effort. One thing we can still examine is the intention behind our action.
Results Are Not the Only Measure
We should learn from results, but we do not have to use every outcome to judge our entire worth or intention.
Good Intention Needs Wisdom
A good intention is a beginning. We also learn how to act skillfully and reduce unintended harm.
A Dhamma Perspective
Examining intention helps us see what moved the mind and gives us a chance to improve the next action.
What You Can Do Today
- Ask what you hoped to create when you began.
- Accept the actual result honestly.
- Use the lesson to adjust your next action.
One Good Thing Today
A mistake can become a teacher when we are willing to look at it honestly.
Come Back Tomorrow
Keep the good intention and add more wisdom to the way you act.
