I need to do, what I can do, and that is enough

Some events in life are very difficult to deal with. I try my best on any particular day. That is enough. Even if I do not think I tried enough, it is enough.... Why? Because, I did as much as I could to for that day, and then, that is enough. Yesterday is gone... But, we think we could have done more, maybe. But, on some days, we can only do, what we can do. Going back to yesterday to say, "I could have done more, and should have done more, adds more pain. I did what I could do. I cannot change the past.

Yes, I can learn, and that learning is a great gift.. I can learn from the past, and act on what I have learned in today, and that is enough too. I need to try to do the best that I can do, .today, because ... the best that I can do on any particular day .....IS ENOUGH..! I will try to act on these thoughts., but, I will do, only what I can do for today, and, I need to believe, that is enough.
