A simple thing to remember.

How many times a day do we expect something from our children, spouse, family, friends, coworkers, bosses, or the world in general?!
How many times we are deeply disappointed when our expectations are not fulfilled right away?!
I want my partner to be like this.
I want my children to behave like this.
I want people to be like this.
The question is: what do I give? What is My behavior? How can I expect something from others when not doing it myself?!
It is not a difficult concept.
The consequences of its applications are remarkable though.
It doesn’t mean that the world will automatically follow your lead.
However your understanding of others can vastly improve.
Try it.

Before you look for purity in someone else – first find it in yourself!
Before you look for kindness in someone else – first find it in yourself!
Before you look for understanding from someone else – first find it in yourself!
Before you look for generosity in someone else – first find it in yourself!
Before you look for selflessness in someone else – first find it in yourself!
Etc etc.
