Living and Working

Several years ago I had a particularly hard time at work. While sitting at my desk I wrote out a list of things that I wanted to change about myself. Since then I've kept this list by my computer at work. It helps.

Compassionate Living
-Thinking the best about people and events.
-Withholding judgment until sure.
-Sharing feelings.
-Expressing gratitude to God.
-Acknowledging my mistakes.
-Forgiving others and asking for forgiveness.
-Learning about others and caring about their lives.
-Practicing patience
-Respecting and understanding differences.
-Recognizing the good others do.

Prayerful Living
-Acknowledging my Creator.
-Blessing my Creator.
-Accepting blessings from my Creator.
-Accepting that all things come from my Creator.
-Creating Beauty.
-Greeting others with Grace, Love, and Compassion.
-Receiving Beauty.
-Releasing Anger.
-Recognizing the good in others and in events.
-Sustainable living.
