Anyone who isn't confused,
by Edward R. Murrow

We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason
if we dig deep in our history and remember

to associate and to defend causes
which were for the moment unpopular.

the oldest problem in the relations between human beings,

Everything that happens in the world, or doesn't happen,
is NOT my responsibility.
There are more than enough things that are my responsibility.

I can only make myself unhappy by trying to second guess
what anyone else thinks or does.

remember what the flight attendant says,

this includes your own emotional,
as well as physical, well-being.
In addition, your greatest value to your children,
your family, your friends, and your community
is the example you set, leading a great life that inspires
those around you to emulate your being.

When you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.
When you can see that, you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.

Once you are confident of your own worthiness,
the worthiness of others ceases to be an issue.
