Care for yourself first

‘When you care for yourself first, the world will also find you worthy of care.’- Haemin Sunim

Learn to express yourself

Learn to express what you are feeling without agonizing over it. It is a life skill every bit as important as learning how to read. Without it, dissatisfaction builds up, arguments break out, and relationships can blow up like volcanoes.’- Haemin Sunim

Look at your flaws with love

Do not despair over what is imperfect in yourself. Instead, look at your flaws with love.’

Choose a life that improves through failure and pain

‘Rather than choosing a life in which you do nothing for fear of making a mistake, choose a life that improves through failure and pain.’– Haemin Sunim

Do not judge people

Don’t judge people based on how they appear, as they may have difficulties that nobody can see.’- Haemin Sunim

Do not let criticism upset you

If you keep letting criticism upset you, then you will gradually wither, and in the end you will not be able to do anything.’- Haemin Sunim

Forget yourself

We often feel happiest when we forget ourselves. When we feel grateful for someone, we think about that person, not so much about ourselves.’- Haemin Sunim

Give more than you take

‘If you want to excel in a relationship, the way to do so is very simple: Give more than you receive. The more we receive, we can’t help but feel grateful and like the person.’– Haemin Sunim
