Doing Your Best and Acceptance

“Pray to God for courage to change the things that should be changed, and the serenity to accept the things that cannot be changed.”


“Accept what has come out of your labor; the seeds are not by you.”


“You have the right to act, but not to the fruits thereof. That is karma yoga. When results come, accept them with equanimity. Be serene and accept the results of the efforts you put forth, not according to your wishes. But put your efforts well.”


“When you have put forth your best efforts, accept the results with serenity.”


“Do your best and accept the results, whatever they are, with serenity. Do not regret. That is the way it is supposed to be.”


“With equanimity and peace, accept what comes to you.”


—Swami Amar Jyoti
