99 Words to Live By

Today is a gift. I live it with a receptive mind, open heart, and generous spirit.

I am accountable for:

  • Serving others;

  • Building, never destroying;

  • Sharing my gifts abundantly, needing neither notice nor credit;

  • Treating everyone with compassion, candor, and fairness;

  • Encouraging others;

  • Honoring others’ feelings;

  • Regarding everyone as an equal and teacher;

  • Appreciating differences;

  • Trusting others, assuming only good intentions;

  • Forgiving quickly when I feel wronged;

  • Holding my tongue when I want to judge, criticize, or condemn;

  • Complaining only with love;

  • Spreading joy to all I am privileged to meet;

  • Living as I want the world to be.
