Be Honest with Yourself
- Who am I?
- Am I really who I am?
- Am I all I ought to be?
- Mind Café’s “Liberate yourself by telling yourself the truth.”
- GoodTherapy‘s “Live Your Truth”
- And PsychCentral suggests: Step into other people’s shoes, Accent the positive, Forgive yourself.
Do Your Best
Under any circumstance, always do your best, no more and no less. But keep in mind that your best is never going to be the same from one moment to the next. Everything is alive and changing all the time, so your best will sometimes be high quality, and other times it will not be as good …

Loving
- The ability to love oneself and be concerned with ones happiness
- An empathetic love that exists in families
- The fondness found in friendships
- Romantic passion, and
- Open-hearted, unconditional and world-embracing spiritual love
To be more loving, WikiHow says,
- Share Your Love by serving others, reflecting on personal mistakes, surrounding yourself with people who are loving, practicing forgiveness and writing down positive experiences [buy a few of Sandra’s Gifts journals].
- Understand Love by letting go of fantasy love, evaluating your behavior and not expecting anything in return.
- Work on You by being more hopeful and growing. Read More.
If I could choose one super power, I would want to be able to make everyone love everyone!
