Seek to understand those with whom you disagree. And you'll learn to better understand yourself. Look at life from someone else's perspective. And your own perspective will become more valuable. No two people experience the world in exactly the same way. That is one big thing that makes life so interesting, and the possibilities so abundant.

The opinions of others in no way threaten your own opinions. In fact, the opinions of others can help you to refine and strengthen your own unique perspective.

If you assume that you are right and everyone else is wrong, then you shut yourself off from valuable growth and learning. If you close your mind out of fear that someone else might change it, you're certainly not showing very much confidence in your own opinions.

Give your opinions and beliefs the respect they deserve by opening them up to challenge and criticism. That is what will make them stronger, more sincere, and of more value to everyone

EMBRACE LIFE

Embrace life When life comes at you, run out and embrace it. The more enthusiastically and completely you embrace life, the better it will be.

Embrace the beauty, the joy, the wonder and the abundance of life. At the same time, embrace the challenges, the setbacks, the disappointments and the difficulties.

For by embracing life fully, you put yourself in a position to make a positive difference. By welcoming the ups and the downs, you're able to move forward from an effective and realistic perspective.

Certainly life has very real tragedies, yet often what seem to be disappointments are disappointments only because you imagine them to be. When you stop fighting them and start embracing them as part of life's flow, you'll find many of them not to be disappointments at all.

Whatever life sends your way at any given moment is what you have to work with. So embrace it and then set about to make the most of it.

Embrace life, and all the many paths it takes. Embrace life, and those paths will lead where you truly want to go.

Have a great day and God Bless You All!
