May I…..

• be a source of healing and not hurt or injury.

• learn to be more patient and loving with the people closest to me.

• value other people more than I value things.

• apologize sincerely and efficiently when I wrong others.

• learn to respect and love myself without being self-indulgent, self-absorbed or self-centered.

• be immovable about matters of personal integrity, and flexible and understanding when others do not do what is right and good.

• learn to switch off or ignore my phone when I am face-to-face with anyone.

• listen more than I speak.

• be generous.

• consistently spend less than I earn.

• learn to define myself and not others.

• learn to hold my tongue when tempted to gossip.

• have growing clarity about what is and what is not my business and the power to mind my own business.

• keep my word.

• learn to promote the strengths of others even if it means stepping aside so others may get ahead.

• learn to live in the present and design a great future rather than dwell upon the way things were or could have been.
