As we criticize others, we are also criticizing ourselves. When we noticed the bad in others, our own bad is shown. The best way to find the positive is to look for it, to say it, and to share it. When we share bad, we find it, everywhere. We cannot look for the bad in others and find the good in ourselves. Bad leads to bad. Good leads to good. Our inside journey is created by our outside actions – and our outside journey is formed by our inside thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.

Making others unhappy will never make you happy.

The opposite is more than true as well, the more we help others find happiness the more happiness we will feel.

The only way we can ever hear our own minds is if we let go of what we expect others want from us. This is not about what others need from us, or our responsibilities, but about wants and expectations. Letting go of outside expectations allows us to embrace who we really are, in order to know who we really are though we first have to listen to what our mind and heart are saying to us.

Charity is selfless love for the benefit of another.

Our thoughts are not by definition bad. Our physiological and emotional reaction to our thoughts is what determines the quality of the thoughts. Our reactions to our thoughts determine our growth. If we keep focusing on what is wrong, then the bad starts to control. Yet, when we are positive and embrace the good, our outcomes improve.

Saying sorry works.

Meaning you are sorry is worth the effort to change.

The direction you are facing determines where you are going.

Where you are going is much more important than where you have been.

Love is a gift.

Acceptance is a gift.

The more you want to support and encourage others: love, and accept them, those gifts will always be worth giving.

Every one of us is strong enough to face our obstacles and challenges.

When each one of us supports each other, it becomes so much easier for all of us.

The people who find the most success are the ones who have the most successful habits.
