Humanitarian
Over the past two years, I have had the opportunity (and need) to go through some personal growth and it was my friends who suggested that I post some of what I discovered and share it with you and others.

To be the Best Partner
Commitment
- I’ll focus on what I can learn about myself all the time, especially from my reactions—such as anger, fear, jealousy, resentment and impatience instead of judging or blaming others or myself.
Notice my emotions by feeling the physical sensations in my energy centers.
- Notice my thoughts such as planning my reply instead of acting on impulse, judging, analyzing and comparing .
- Notice my intention such as blaming, judging, needing to be right, wanting admiration, escaping into thoughts, intellectualizing and trying to convince.
Courage
- I will take responsibility for my feelings, experiences and actions.
- No blaming.
- Practice integrity at all times.
- Sharing about myself what I am frightened to say and know that I need to say.
- Compassion
I will change my perspective from negative to loving.
- Choose to see myself and others in a loving or appreciative way.
- Be present while others are speaking—not preparing replies or judging.
Conscious communication
- I will regularly consult my intuition.
- Choose my intention before I speak or act.
- Act from the healthiest part of my personality that I can find, rather than caretaking, fixing, teaching, judging or blaming.
- Speak personally and specifically rather than generally and abstractly.
- Talk about
Our Hopes, Dreams, Goals, Concerns, Fears and Desires on a monthly basis.
- Ask her is she happy on a weekly basis.
To be the Best Person
I promise myself
- To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind
- To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet
- To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them
- To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true
- To think only of the best, to work with only of the best and to expect only the best
- To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own
- To forget the mistakes of the past and press onto the greater achievements of the future
- To be a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet
- To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others
- To be too large for worry, to noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble
- To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds
- To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me
