Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it
probably hurts the person too.

Courage

One of the highest forms of courage is the ability to face my own negativity
without feeling guilty or bad about myself, and then take responsibility for
changing it. To begin this process, I first make contact with my deepest
spiritual core. Reflecting on the things I care about mostly gives me a
glimpse of my innate goodness. Building on this, God will, if I let Him,
gently reveal in me a caring and compassionate nature that can even be
described as divine. The courage to let go of unwanted thoughts and feelings
will develop when I accept that my higher, divine self is not separate from
me, but lies at the very heart of who I am



Be At Peace

You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget
that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort
to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings
whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our
most fundamental nature.

Be Tolerant

You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is
not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort
you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your
time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which
paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do,
you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this
way you can turn tolerance into strength.
