- May I value other people more than things.
- May I apologize sincerely and efficiently when I wrong others.
- May I be immovable about matters of my integrity but understanding when others fall short.
- May I give my full attention when I am in conversation with others and listen more than I speak.
- May I become the most generous and optimistic person I know.
- May I learn to avoid using and believing damaging stereotypes.
- May I resist knee-jerk reactions to issues of race and equality.
- May I bring optimism to others when they most need it.
- May I learn to avoid gossip or saying things that are unhelpful or untrue.
- May I learn to promote the strengths of others.
- May I learn from losing and not gloat in victory.
- May I give my children all the freedom necessary for growth and adventure.
- May I learn to be a listening ear.
- May I learn to live fully in the present while designing a great future and valuing my past.
- May I enjoy deep connection with others and necessary separation from others.
