Make peace with imperfection
Gentle, relaxed people can be super achievers
The snowball effect of your thinking
Develop your compassion
When you die, your “To Do Things” won’t be empty
Don’t interrupt others or finish their sentences
Do something nice for someone
And don’t tell anyone about it.

Let others have the glory
Learn to live in the present moment
Let others be “right” most of the time
Become more patient
Create “Patience Practice Periods”
Be the first one to act loving or reaching out
Ask yourself the question
“Will this matter a year from now?”

Surrender to the fact that life isn’t fair
Respect yourself
Allow yourself to be bored
Lower your tolerance to stress
Once a week, write a heartfelt letter
Imagine yourself at your own funeral
Repeat to yourself,
“Life isn’t an emergency”

Smile at strangers
Look into their eyes, and say “Hello”
Set aside quiet time, every day
Imagine the people in your life as
Tiny infants and as 100 years old adults
Seek first to understand
Become a better listener
Choose your battles wisely
Become aware of your moods
Life is a test, only a test

Praise and blame are all the same
Practice random acts of kindness
Look beyond behaviors
See the innocence
Choose being kind over being right
Telling others how much you love them
Practice humility
Go ahead and take the trash out

Spend a moment thinking someone to love
Understand separate realities
Every day tell at least one person
How much you like, admiring, or appreciating them
Resist the urge to criticize
Search for the grain of truth in other opinions
Breathe before you speak
Be grateful when you’re feeling good
Be graceful when you’re feeling bad

Become a less aggressive driver
Relax
Adopt an apprentice
Turn your melodrama into a mellow-drama
Do one thing at a time
Count to ten
Being flexible with changes in your plans
Think of what you have
Instead of what you want
Ignore your negative thoughts
Willing to learn from people
Be happy where you are

You become what you practice most
Quiet the mind
Take up yoga
Do a favor
Don’t ask for, or expect, one in return
Think of your problems as potential teachers
Get comfortable not knowing
Cut yourself some slack
Stop blaming others
Become an early riser
When trying to be helpful,
Focus on little things

Nurture a plant
Listen to your feelings
They are trying to tell you something
If someone throws you the ball
You don’t have to catch it
Fill your life with love
The power of your own thoughts
Give up on the idea that “More is better”
Keep asking yourself
“What’s really important?”

Trust your intuitive heart
Be open to “What is”
Mind your own business
Look for the extraordinary in the ordinary
Schedule time for your creativity
Live this day if it were your last.

CREATIVITY IS KING.
