Perhaps you are feeling sad — maybe you did something you regret or feel you have not done enough. Just remember: Change characterizes everything under the sun; whatever is bothering you will pass. If you are patient, everything can change for you, as old patterns are overwritten with new.

Try this meditation for one minute today, or longer if you wish:

ARE YOU FEELING REGRET? Remember: Each moment is new and absolutely unique in the history of the universe. You can start again — again and again.

Those skilled in war subdue the enemy’s army without battle.
—Sun Tzu, The Art of War
