Entry 1:

I am a citizen of the world
Repeat that to yourself everyday
And follow the lessons led by
Socrates
Epictetus
Marcus Aurelius
Anyone who’s led a good life

Entry 2

Straight, not straightened

Remember that throughout the week

Remember there will be people who you don’t agree with

Remember there will be people who don’t agree with you

Stand firm when needed

Help when necessary

You are a work in progress

Make small steps day by day

Reflect and reflect

Straight, not straightened

Entry 3

Kindness is a duty

Compassion for yourself and others always

Control what you can

Let go of what you can’t
