Turn my eyes away from worthless things

This is the prayer we should make every day, so that we may increasingly strive to fulfill our true selves.
When we are working on something meaningful to us, we feel genuinely happy.

But “doing for ourselves” can also carry a negative connotation: “doing something to make myself look great in the eyes of others.”
This is a trap to avoid, because it only leads to negative feelings toward others and toward the world.

What you should do instead, when you seek to realize yourself, is aim to build something that is truly useful for the world.
