As human beings, even when we don't say it,
we are ALWAYS looking for people who will make us
feel good about ourselves.
We want to be around people who believe in us,
who support us, who want us to succeed,
who are not scared to tell us where we are wrong.
But to make others feel good about themselves,
all you need to do is treat them as human beings.
According to John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins'
"When we believe in people, support them,
bring out their best, speak truth to them, and
inspire them, we help them to be their best selves."
When you are yourself, your best self, you
can see the best in other people.
Wherever you go, make it a habit to always
look for the best in things, in people.
When you do, the best will follow you.
Everything around you is an opportunity
to learn more about yourself,
to learn more about the people around you,
and to learn more about the world.
Whatever you do, learn from it.
Wherever you are, learn from it.
Because everything is a learning opportunity.
Take it. Do not let it go.
We grow when we learn. We don't grow when we don't learn.
If you really care about life lessons, you can start right
with these ones from Sam Harris, a philosopher and neuroscientist
"Honesty is a gift we can give to others."
"Honesty is a gift we can give to others.
It is also a source of power and an engine of simplicity.
Knowing that we will attempt to tell the truth,
whatever the circumstances,
leaves us with little to prepare for.
We can simply be ourselves."
"Your life doesn't get any better than your mind is:
"Your life doesn't get any better than your mind is:
You might have wonderful friends, perfect health,
a great career, and everything else you want,
and you can still be miserable."
"Do not live your life in the future."
"We manage to never really connect with the present
moment and find fulfillment there because
we are continually hoping to become
happy in the future, and the future never arrives.""The reality of your life is now."
"However much you feel you may need to plan
for the future, to anticipate it, to mitigate risks,
the reality of your life is now."
No one is perfect. No life is perfect.
"Many people who experience illness imagine
that everyone else is blissfully getting on
with life in perfect health- and this illusion
compounds their suffering."
