I would like to be judged by my intentions which are generally good. I wake up each morning and make my good intentions for the day. But, unfortunately, I am judged by my actions, which do not generally follow my intentions. I wake up and decide I will not be judgmental or resentful today. If my plans don’t work out I intend to accept it. Then reality of other people’s actions, situations and general mayhem show up. All my unplanned reality says hello and I say, #%&^. Not good. I act and think in a negative way. My response to reality is way beneath my intentions made earlier. So my prayer when I wake up is often, “Oh God, spare me from myself. And spare others from me should self-will and self-pity run riot.” Well, at least I start out with rigorous honesty!
