I desire to be accepted, respected and noticed for the person I am, so therefore, I need to focus on, empathize with and allow others to be themselves, at this moment in time, wherever in life or the journey and path they are on – and maybe, I will learn something about myself in the process of acceptance.

MY behavior requires me to reflect on my thoughts, words and actions that I myself would like to be treated with.  As I do unto you, I do to self.

I know this intellectually and profoundly believe in it – but actually implementing this practice and living by this ethical value and tenet is more a striving, progressive reaching rather than an accomplishment consciously sought.

I sink and explore further into my inner realm in proportion to any generosity or service I extend outside myself onto others.
