Bring true power into your life by understanding these six heart virtues. Look them up and get a clear understanding of what these mean to you personally. When you have a “knowingness” about these virtues, commit them to memory and post the list around your home to keep you focused. 1. Appreciation 2. Humility 3. Valor 4. Compassion 5. Understanding 6. Forgiveness Operating in your feeling world with an expanded understanding of how the heart virtues can be combined or sequenced for specific life experiences is a fundamental shift in behavior that will serve you well.

I have been through a horrendous 2 years. First enduring extreme bullying in the workplace, then running into the arms of a man who positioned himself as someone who could help (read here ‘save’…knight in shining armour syndrome) me resolve this situation. Funnily enough man in question was actually an emotional (and God knows what else had I stuck around long enough) abuser. Fortunately despite the fact I no longer thought I was worthy of any kind of love/like I pulled myself out of the vacuum I’d allowed myself to be sucked into and deleted him from my life. I realised through both of these situations that although what had happened was completely unjustified, unfair and unwarranted I still ALLOWED it to happen. It took me a long time to get to that place. I became petrified of what he “might” do to me, should I leave. I’m not in the process of reconfiguring my life and how I deal with the masses of unethical, tyrannical people who pervade our society. What I hope is that one day these types of valuable life skills are taught in schools. Most parents teach their children about “stuff” but not about the intricacies of human interactions and I suppose just assume through experience they’ll learn certain lessons. Sometimes once you’re able to make complete sense of a situation its too late. Great post, people need to be more empowered and given the skills and new thought-processes to make positive changes to their lives.

Hi Craig

I was told constantly when I was growing up, "If you're not nice, people won't like you". This is really bad advice as it creates a pleasing mentality that I have spent a great deal of time trying to rid myself of. The fact is, some people won't like you because you're short, tall, rich, poor....there are a mountain of reasons why someone won't like you.

I now tell me children to treat people with respect and kindness but not to compromise themselves and their values. I teach them that some people just won't like you so you have to rely on the knowledge that you have acted the best way you know how.

Hopefully this advice will be taken on board....ask me in 20 years if it worked.

Hsve a great day!
Janice

Hi JJ - you are more than welcome.

I'm priveleged to be a small part of your journey. Now listen to me...

The ONLY person who can control your destiny, shape your future and produce results in your world (good or bad) is YOU. You are the problem and the solution. Everything you need to succeed you already have - even if you don't know it or believe it.

You'll be amazed what you can do when you stop talking yourself into failure. Be courageous, be strong and be the change.

Keep me posted.

Aaah Little Charlotte

A wise man once told me

"If you don't ever want to offend anyone then say nothing, do nothing and be nothing"

I offend people daily.

Or perhaps they search for offence?
