Life reflects back
Though you cannot control the actions of others, you can have
a significant influence on how they act toward you. Set a
positive tone, and the people around you will pick up on
it.
Be respectful, and you will in turn be respected. Be honest,
be truthful, and you greatly increase the likelihood that
you will be told the truth by others.
Offer a smile each chance you get, and you'll receive more
smiles in return. Project a pleasant, helpful attitude, and
that is the attitude with which you'll often be met.
Genuinely expect the best of others, and they will do all
they can to live up to your expectations. Listen with
interest and attention, seek to truly understand, and what
you say will be much better understood.
Give meaningful value, and you'll receive real value in
return. Offer your honest opinion, and others will be more
upfront with you.
The world is a much more beautiful place when you choose to
be beautiful yourself. Go out of your way to shine a
positive light, and you'll like what life reflects back at
you.
