How to be the Better Person https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html Privacy Policy When working on a project, take the first thing you come up with and say I can do better. Do the same with the second and third until you reach what seemed impossible. Choose to believe that people are better than their actions. Choose to believe that you are better than your actions, then try to bring those in line. Don’t be the person that sees something in someone else’s teeth and doesn’t say anything. Spend more time building the world that we want our children to live in and not just the life we want them to live. About Me Involve the people you care about in your world, the good and the bad. You’re not helping them at all by keeping them in the dark. You’re only teaching them to suffer alone with their own problems and burdens. Consider changing your strategy for addressing recurring problems or situations. Our personal reality is pretty unique to us. Understanding other realities can help us solve our problems. A person who has tried and failed can tell you what success looks like, but not how to get there. The problems we avoid don’t go away just because we stop looking in that direction. Sometimes we try out a perspective before we can see if it works for us. Sometimes keeping your mouth shut is the best contribution you can make. Don’t be afraid to lean on the people who actually care about you. You’re not abusing them, and they won’t break. Don’t be afraid to take a few steps back, in order to move forward. Life is a process, not a set of destinations. Don’t argue why you can’t, because it’s an argument you’ll always win. The greatest opponent we face in life is ourselves. Don’t ignore something just because there is no way for you to fix it. Just because something happened as an unavoidable accident doesn’t mean you aren’t still responsible for cleaning up the mess. Your ego is willing to accept unhappiness in order to achieve comfort. Our world is full of people. You’re missing most of it if you only look at the world from your perspective. Be there for someone but don’t tell them what it cost you to do so. Practice the art of thinking more of you without thinking less of others. Put fewer empty things in your life; empty words, empty promises, empty calories, and time killers. What you want is the dessert of life, what you need is the nourishment. Even the people you can trust you can’t trust in every situation. We can’t even trust ourselves. We all have our weaknesses and moments. Taking care of a person is not the same as taking care of a relationship. Spend less thought on what you want to say, and more on what you want people to hear. Life owes you nothing more than opportunities; the choice to see them is yours. The harder you work the easier things get, the easier you take it the harder things become. There are people just like you in this world that do the impossible. Things do NOT have a way of working themselves out. Avoiding the negative is less likely to make you happy than pursuing the positive. Your mood can determine if you enjoy something, but it should never determine if you do it. Your limitations are suggestions are not requirements. Feel free to ignore the ones you don’t like. Being strong for others helps us to be strong for ourselves. You can always make yourself a person that can handle the things you feel like you can’t handle now. Do fewer things, but do more of them well. Never feel diminished by how others shine. If it really bothers you simply say, “Challenge accepted.” Be generous with what you give, but not with what you allow people to take. Strategy is more likely to determine the outcome than strength. Study the world like an illustrator, always looking for the details we are capable of seeing but rarely do. Contact I am amazed at how miserable people insist on making themselves in the eternal pursuit of happiness. I’d rather be content and at peace. Beautiful sometimes to realize how few of the things that we have do we really even need. Almost doing something is almost exactly the same as not doing it at all. When you wake up, don’t be afraid to find that your dreams have changed. Home
