Dear !

Here is your daily dose of Wisdom for Living Your Best Self!

We are exploring wisdom from Maya Angelou this week.

Today's quote is about doing the right thing.

Just do right. Right may not be expedient, it may not be profitable, but it will satisfy your soul. It brings you the kind of protection that bodyguards can't give you. So try to live your life in a way that you will not regret years of useless virtue and inertia and timidity. 
Take up the battle. Take it up. 
It's yours. This is your life. 
This is your world.
Maya Angelou

She also said:
We have to confront ourselves. Do we like what we see in the mirror? And, according to our light, our understanding, according to our courage, we will have to say yay, or nay – and rise!

Activists such as MLK have said similar words:

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.
Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
Doing though difficult, is the only way to be at peace with ourselves. As the French proverb says,

There is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience
French proverb

On the other hand,
The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul.John Calvin
