A Thought for Today

Right livelihood is not just a philosophical ideal. It is a practical, achievable reality. Finding and maintaining right livelihood does require regular, consistent action, but the steps are clear and the results immediate.

Finding your own right livelihood depends primarily on getting in touch with your "beginner's mind." Mindfulness challenges us to stay with things as they are and to change our lives through action that harms no one.

Working together, mindfully and compassionately, we can create a community in which all our livelihoods are "right."

— Claude Whitmyer, "Mindfulness and Meaningful Work"
