Opening our eyes to new things is as much heart and mental as it is physical. 

Opening our hearts enables us to open our minds which enables us to use our eyes. 

If you can’t understand the situation,

if you can’t understand the person,

if you can’t understand the reason, 

then focus on yourself.

If you understand yourself, 

you will begin to understand others as well. 

Selfishness is about protection. 

Selfishness is protecting yourself while sacrificing others. 

 

Empathy is often made up, it can be anything our imagination says it is…. 

But a true virtue like sympathy includes:

Care,

Concern,

Kindness,

Generosity,

and

Awareness. 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Luci! So thankful for you. Glad your actions are always full of sympathy. 

Peace is often found in chaos. 

Peace comes when we focus on truth, and accept truth into our lives. 

Nothing increases results more than hope, positive motivation, and encouragement. 

Building hope is about what you say, to others and to yourself. 

Creating hope is about keeping your personal commitments. 

Regret is pain. Regret causes more pain. 

Be grateful for what you have,

and for what you had,

and for what you did. 

Gratitude for the past and the present and the future is what ignites contentment and fights sadness, and depression. 

Never worry about what you should have done, or should be, or what could have been.

Worry doesn’t work. Worry causes fear and can cause regret and pain. 

Rather, be grateful, feel grateful, show gratitude, and embrace the present. 

When we embrace our current situation while still working toward our goals, we will always feel better. 

The true secret to growing your business is to make it easy to do business with you.

If you already have a good product or service,

and your brand represents you well,

and you know how to explain and create value,

and you know how to treat your customers,

then the only thing left is to make it so you are the easiest option.

If you truly want to accelerate your sales, you will reduce as much friction as possible.

Those who make it easy to work with them, will always win, both long-term and short-term.

Strength is shown and also created when you apply courage and passion into overcoming obstacles.
