Never underestimate the power of every decision you make, no matter how small. Both in terms of its effects on you, and the surrounding world.
Even something as simple as what you choose to eat or drink, what you watch or listen to while relaxing, or the words you use to a passing stranger. Even the words you think to yourself in your head.
They might seem trivial to you at the moment, but they reverberate. First inside your mind, then they become manifest in your body, and that then happens in turn to everybody you interact with.
All of this results in your life pointing in a certain direction, and has momentum towards it. This shifts the whole world slightly in that direction.
One person might not change much, but the cumulative effect that tens of thousands has is powerful.
You must embody the direction that you want the world to head towards.

@matana The goal is not to be hyper aware of it and micromanage your life, but to accept it.
The goal should probably be to naturally and gracefully embody your ideals. This means you act them out without even thinking.
Of course that's far easier said than done.
Even if you do your best you may be pulling yourself and the world around you in a bad direction. That may be where the concept of "sin" originates.
