Remember that you don't know

Remember that you don’t know You can act with the best of intention and those actions can be rewarded or not Setting intention and acting are important regardless of the outcome Do what you feel and know to be right There are no guarantees There is only this moment to engage in life Act in accordance with your kind intentions And simply see what happens Randy Roberts Nov 7, 2021
