Do not do to others what you would not wish for yourself.

Remember that everything is interconnected.

It's scary to say, but people see only what they want to see and hear only what they want to hear. On this property human nature 90% of monstrous rumors, false reputations, and sacredly treasured gossip hold on. I will only ask those who disagree with me to remember what they heard about themselves.

Give people love. Even if they hurt you. Even if they keep hurting you unbearable pain. Always and always continue to treat the person well and with love, no matter what.

IN modern society It is very difficult to accept the idea that all problems can be solved with kindness and love. This is the fear of rejection and rejection by the masses, that they will throw stones at you, wipe your feet and take advantage of you if you do not respond in the same manner, show your strength through aggression, bitchiness and “going over your heads.” But, believe me, it is not necessary to pay negative and nervous people in the same coin.

Moreover, by responding in kind, you succumb to their manipulations and provocations. You get angry, you have negative thoughts, you are nervous and you yourself suffer from this negativity.

There are people for whom we lack spiritual strength.

People are like window panes. They sparkle and shine when the sun shines, but when darkness reigns, they true beauty opens only thanks to the light coming from within... Kübler-Ross

Every person who appears in our lives is a teacher! Someone teaches us to be stronger, someone - wiser, someone teaches us to forgive, someone - to be happy and enjoy every day. Someone doesn’t teach us at all - they simply break us, but from this we also gain experience. Appreciate every person, even if he appeared for a moment. After all, if he appeared, then it’s no accident!

The sins of others You are so eager to judge, start with your own and will not get to others.

William Shakespeare

You can never judge anyone for anything. Especially if the person, as a person, is unknown to you. You don’t know his past, nor, in fact, his present, nor the environment around him.

Don’t get attached to anything, because attachment is the source of unfreedom. Until you calm your mind, you cannot experience happiness.

THE LAW OF THE POWER OF THE WORD

You know how powerful words are. With a word you can heal, you can also kill. Watch what you say. Labels, insults, and reproaches create wounds in the soul that are difficult to heal. They have an irreversible effect. Because in the soul of every person there lives a child who experiences the fear of being rejected. Be careful not to underestimate your ability to hurt him. Use the power of words only for kind words, compliments, approval, support.

Don't accept any negativity. Until you accept it, it belongs to the one who brought it.

It is very important to learn not to keep anyone... Is nearby good people- rejoice, there is no one around - relax, rethink life...

Our angels are always with us, and often they use someone else's lips to tell us something.

Lord give us eyes that see the best in people,
A heart that will forgive the worst
A mind that forgets bad things
And a soul that never loses faith.

God always surrounds us with those people with whom we need to heal from our shortcomings.

Don't waste time taking anything personally. When other people talk to you, they are actually talking to a minor character in their story. Everything people say about you is just a projection of the image they have created of you. It has nothing to do with you.

Miguel Ruiz

Any person in our life appears in it precisely when we most need the lesson that he brings with him.

You need to learn how to compliment people as often as possible. Let your words be real, sincere and come from the heart. Tell the person what you like about him. This will cheer up the whole day, both for your interlocutor and for yourself.

Water is the softest and weakest creature in the world, but in overcoming the hard and strong it is invincible, and there is no equal in the world. The weak overcome the strong, the soft overcomes the hard. Everyone knows this, but people cannot implement it... Lao Tzu

Live your life and let others live theirs. Let everyone have the freedom to do their own thing.

You need to learn to understand and accept other people's opinions. Every person in this world has their own own view to a variety of things and situations. And if your views differ, do not forget about respect and the right of each person to their own opinion.

Know how to take the position of another person and understand what he needs, not you. The whole world will be with the one who can do this.

If you want to get to know a person, don’t listen to what others say about him, better listen to what he says about others.

This is freedom - to feel what your heart desires, without caring about other people's opinions.
