*Humility and inner peace go hand in hand. The less compelled you are to try and prove yourself to others, the easier it is to feel peaceful inside*

*Turn your life from a *Melodrama* into a *Mellow Drama*..life is never as bad as it seems*

**Really listen to Criticism directed towards you. Satisfy another person's need to express their point
of view and learn something new about yourself in seeking the truth of another person's position*

*Please consider deeply and respectfully the fact that we are all very different. As you practice this in your daily life, the love you feel for others and their uniqueness will only grow*

*Choose being kind over being right. Sometimes we are tempted to put others down or show them we're right and they are wrong. Our ego mistakenly believes that if we point out how someone else is wrong, we must be right, and therefore we will feel better. Examine your heart. When your goal is to build people up, to make them feel better, to share in their joy, you only reap the rewards of their positive feelings and energies*

*I will always talk to you truthfully and from my heart. It will only build trust and a true foundation for a long-lasting friendship! If you've got a problem or just need someone to talk to, let me know. I don't see the point in getting to know the people I chat with and not being there for them when they really need someone!!!*

*True happiness comes only when we change our relationship with our problems, when we see them as a potential sources of awakening and to learn and practice patience. To live a truely spiritual life, we need to view our problems as the best place to practice keeping our hearts open.*
