“Follow the Process” of Life
Life is a journey and we must follow the process to find peace, joy and happiness.
P – Perseverance
Is the key to success. Never let anyone map your life’s course for you and don’t give up on anything that you believe in, be persistent! Always be positive and look at the bright side of anything that you do in life.
R – Real
Always be genuinely you and keep it real, while always respecting yourself and your fellow man or woman, those in authority, and especially those with ages of wisdom.
O – Openness
Always stay open to new ideas and change. Being open allows you to grow in every aspect of life, whether it’s emotionally, mentally, financially, physically or spiritually, and always seize the opportunity to grow, learn and to give back to humanity.
C – Compassion
Always be kind to others, caring and considerate of others feeling, and be confident in yourself, and self-assured in what you do in your life’s chosen profession or vocation.
E – Empathy
Always envision yourself walking in someone else shoes, and gain an understanding of the plight of others that you come in contact with. You can’t begin to understand the pain of someone until you have walked in their shoes, and always give words of encouragement because there is power in the words of encouragement and it inspires one’s spirit and soul
S – Supportive
Always be supportive by being helpful, loyal, kind, caring, empathetic, and encouraging to your fellow man, woman, boy or girl.
S – Serve
Finally, always remember that we are here in this universe to serve and not to be served. Service from the heart brings joy, happiness and peace to the soul.
