The Tides

I like this piece of advice.  If you live near an ocean, why not go out and try and stop the tide from coming in.  It might do wonders to keep your ego small.  I cannot control much of anything outside myself and often things outside myself are not my business anyway.  My spiritual program is meant to work on me, to give me a little humility and perspective on who and what I can and cannot control.  If I work on me, a lot of other issues become more clear.  Maybe I cannot fix other things, but with clarity, I often see that it is not my job.
