Life isn't always fair, and almost every day we have abundant opportunities to recognize injustice, on scales large and small, in our own lives and the lives of people around us. Life isn’t always fair, and whether it’s self-preservation, basic human decency, or a combination of both, we want to change that.

In some cases, we can. We are not powerless, and we don’t have to accept every injustice as an unavoidable part of life simply. We do, however, need to accept that our response to perceived wrongs affects our ability to right them. Today, acknowledge that Life isn't always fair and sometimes there is no changing it. And although you may not be able to change the injustice, accept that you do have the power to control your response to the perceived wrongs.

Dwelling on unfairness doesn’t change it; it actually affects your ability to do so by draining your energy, amplifying your emotions, and focusing you more on problems than solutions. Today, accept that you can't change the behavior or the actions of another person. You can change how you respond to them. Sometimes, there will be unfair things that you simply need to accept, and it might feel instinctive to fight that. You and I are only human, and we will sometimes give in to our emotional responses. Today, recognize that what is important is that you try to move beyond those perceived injustices, so you don’t let the things you can’t control take control of you. Today, stop yourself from being a victim of your life's circumstances and your own thinking and become a master of your mind and of your life. If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.

Just for today, I am not a helpless victim of my thoughts. I am a master of my mind. It does not matter what other people say or do. What does matter is how I choose to respond and what I choose to believe about myself. I choose to believe that I deserve the very best in Life and I lovingly allow myself to accept it. I am safe. It is only change and in truth all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
