Dear reader,
If I am passing through a difficult time, I say“life is teaching me a lesson” rather than “What did I do to deserve this?”
If at the end of a long day someone on the way home makes me to lose my temper, I brush it off saying that it is an unworthy battle.
If I am conversing with someone and I am tempted to not listen, I pause and try to be a friend – by listening.
I don’t say horrible things to people. I don’t wish to.
It’s not so much because life is full of sunshine but because I choose to believe in the sunshine and in the fact that the sun always comes in the morning.
I hope you empathize with others. We are much more than who we exhibit to others.
I hope you practice self-awareness.
I hope you are always motivated.
Talking about motivation, it’s OK if things don’t go as planned because I can always rely on my habits.
I hope you respond instead of reacting to conflicts.
When I am in the middle of a conflict, rather than assuming conflicts always lead to war, I instead think that maybe this disagreement will bring out a best solution.
I hope you communicate assertively.
