Being spiritual, my values have always been important to me, so I thought I’d note down the values that help me bring and maintain peace in my life:
- Whenever you help someone, do it with good grace;
- When you apologise to someone, mean it;
- Being aware of our lessons;
- Not dwelling, but learning from failure;
- Never belittle another person’s thoughts or beliefs;
- When talking to someone, always make sure you listen;
- Be attentive and show you care through compassion;
- Get to know someone first before you pass judgment. Better still, don’t pass judgment;
- If someone isn’t willing to meet you half way, their friendship isn’t for keeps;
- Always be yourself;
- It is important to think about yourself from time to time;
- It is important to think about those who need emotional support and be willing to offer it if you can;
- Be a shoulder to cry on, you never know when you might need one back;
- Don’t judge others by your own standards. It is important for others to have a fair trial;
- Don’t pull other people into your misery, or pull them down because you’re feeling bad;
- Work on seeing only the positive, and if the positive turns out to be less than positive, always look for the silver lining;
- Speak your own truth;
- Don’t compromise on your own values or morals just to please others;
- Never leave something said in anger. Going back to make amends is always the best policy.
I like these rules to live by. A type of list as a guide down the trail on our life’s journey. Very cool indeed, don’t ever get tired of it either. Thank you for sharing this.
I hope they help. Thanks for posting.
Good points.
