The people and circumstances we find ourselves straddled with weighs on our mind. Dwelling on them serves no purpose whatsoever. All we ought to be doing is managing our resources. It bodes well to remember that the cultivation of insight and compassion is our greatest resource and only refuge.

No matter what unfolds, we can rely on only such cultivation. In many ways, whatever we are faced with is our doing. Why is that? Because, our circumstances includes our self and the self is completely intertwined with everything else. However we might have maneuvered in the past, creates the self that we now inhabit.

Thus, the cultivation of insight and the cultivation of compassion is the only thing we should focus on. Everything else, without exception, is reason to renew the resolve to do so.
