Compliment people when they do things well.

No matter how small the thing. If you are able to notice it, it is big enough to be praised.

Even when they say they do not like praise, compliment them. It will help them notice that people observe that aspect of them, and they will be energized to maintain it.

A compliment goes to the foundation of being and lifts confidence. And if there’s any gift you can give to anyone, it should be an uplifted confidence in themselves.

Let it be kind.

No one is immune to the environment they are exposed to.

When you understand this, you’re more deliberate about the environments you choose to expose yourself to.

Your flourishing or wilting is more dependent on your environment than on your strength.

You will be surprised how long people can sit with sadness.

A lifetime is even a short time.

You will be surprised at the lengths people will go to retain that seat.

For many, sadness is the only thing that is uniquely theirs.

Their own place.

Even death cannot separate them from it.

There is only one lesson life offers: acceptance.

You can’t fake it.

And until you learn the lesson, the tests never stop.

One life, many journeys.

One end, many memories.

One “I,” many “mes.”

Silence is the most honest answer to most of life’s questions.

There is a simple way to measure balance: energy.

The point where you feel energized in an enduring way is your point of balance.

Energy spikes and energy drains are signals of imbalance.
