On self

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् । आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः

Sanskrit

अपने द्वारा अपना उद्धार करे, अपना पतन न करे; क्योंकि आप ही अपना मित्र है और आप ही अपना शत्रु है।

One should raise oneself by one's Self alone; let not one lower oneself; for the Self alone is the friend of oneself, and the Self alone is the enemy of oneself.

Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 6 6.5

Sanskrit: public domain · Hindi tr. Swami Ramsukhdas · English tr. Swami Sivananda

What it means

Lift yourself by yourself; you are your own best friend or your own worst enemy.

Carry it today

Do one thing today that a good friend would tell you to do for yourself.
