intention and dedication

A couple teachings have really been sticking to me lately. 

Before any and all actions, making an intention and dedication as much as one can. I feel like this is going to be empowering for me and help me become more and more mindful throughout the day. 

Keeping intentions good and dedications in the service of others, or oneself to be of service to others. 

Making the effort to remember to make prayers I feel to be another helpful step in the direction of mindfulness. 

"May I remember my hearts intention" 
"May I be patient when I teach"
"May I practice compassion when driving"
"May I remember equanimity"
"May I rely upon a happy mind only"
"May I see the lesson in all obstacles"
