The ability to listen is quite underrated in our society today. Many people are good at talking, but not listening. For today, make a point to listen to what others around you are saying. Ask questions. Clarify their answers. You may discover new things you didn’t know before. Embrace Love.
Be a beacon of love. Start by loving everyone around you. Show love to your friends, family, partner, colleagues, bosses, clients, teachers, etc – whether explicitly or implicitly.
Love unconditionally.
The highest form of love is unconditional love, where you love others without expecting anything in return.
Be Loyal / Faithful.
To the people that you care for, to the values that you stand for, to the things that you believe in.
Be Kind.
YOu already know it
Don’t criticize.
It’s easy to pinpoint faults in others, but really, it’s not in our place to do so. Not only that, it doesn’t make others feel good about themselves.
Be Magnanimous.
For every thing that people do you wrong, be ready to forgive and forget.
Accept criticism.
If someone offers criticism, accept it. Accepting isn’t the same as agreeing. You don’t have to agree with the criticism, but at least give yourself the opportunity to consider it. Every criticism is an opportunity to improve, to become better.
Ignore malicious attacks.
If someone flames you, take the higher route – ignore the person. You can defend yourself on areas where your values are infringed, but overall, keep a hands-off approach. It’s not worth it to engage in such discussions, because the flamer will only keep attacking, with no desire to achieve a resolution.
Be Meditative.
Those who meditate will know that meditation cultivates an inner peace within you. It makes you calmer and connects you with your inner self
Be Merciful.
Instead of punishment, think forgiveness. Forceful actions – Pain, suffering, death, etc don’t bring closure to issues.
Be Moral.
Do what’s right over what’s wrong. The question of “what’s right” can be subjective depending on your upbringing, but universal values include equality of humans, gender equality, freedom of speech, freedom of choice, etc.
Go the non-cruel path.
Think about how you can follow a lifestyle that inflicts less pain to other living beings like becoming a vegetarian
Be Mindful / Present.
Don’t live in the past or future, but focus on the present moment. For this is where you’re living at now.
Be Nurturing.
There’s always ability in everyone. How can you nurture it out of each person?
