These are basically already my mantras. I've never actually put my mantras down in the form of neat sentences before, but those 4 vows sum up the meaning behind the things I keep telling myself.
I think I shall actually use those vows. An everyday mantra.
Even as I read the words right now, it gives me a deep sense of peace and reminds me what I'm here to do.
