You will not see the best in a person if you are constantly thinking of them when they were at their worst.
If you look for the best, for the interesting, for the light in others, you will find it.
If you look for beauty it’s always there.
This goes for your children, your family, you friends, for people who are different from you, and even your haters.
This is love.
When you search for the redeemable in people and then you encourage, listen, seek to understand, and fan any positive flame!
You look for pain and sympathize, validate, hold space for and soothe.
Jump out of the shame and control cycle!
This cycle is a joy stealer for everyone involved.
Live in love and grace toward everyone you meet.
It is a freedom like no other.
