Hillary Hints
- Listen. To both other people and the world around you.
- Live in the moment. Be aware.
- Love. How would you wish others to react to you?
- Think. Is that the nicest way to say something? How does your tone sound?
- Excuse. If someone sounded rude, they are probably preoccupied or upset. There is always a reason.
- Honesty is the best policy. Be yourself.
- Uniqueness. Don't fear the quirkyness.
- Obey.
- Be carefree. If others don't rush to talk to you, don't sell yourself short. Look for someone who needs you, and don't over think it.
- Understanding is all-important when if comes to people. If you don't understand something, don't fear asking.
- Imagination is an indispensable part of your existence. Keep it alive.
- Recognize the good in people, even when you don't see it all the time. Have you ever seen that person do something kind or loving? Treat them like they did it just a moment ago. Look at them with new eyes. Appreciate them.
- Be natureal. Don't cater to the expectations of others.
- Enjoy life. Do you adore the sunshine? The flowers? The raging thunderstorm? Share that joy with the people around you.
- Trust. No matter what argument you just had, whether people ignore your opinions, or whether you're stressed with schoolwork, God has it under control. If he takes care of the birds and lilies of the valley, how much more will he take care of you?
It was relaxing to write myself a sort of to-do list of what I need to change, or what bothers me. I hope it helps other people besides me.
