Instead of yelling, I speak quietly.
Instead of cursing, I compliment.
Instead of taking, I give.
Instead of worrying, I awaken certainty and take charge.
Instead of fearing, I conjure up courage.
Instead of seeking revenge, I offer forgiveness.
Instead of blaming, I become accountable.
Instead of playing the victim, I hold myself responsible.
Instead of merely coping with a problem, I seek to cure it.
Instead of complaining, I start appreciating.
Instead of looking for the negative in a situation, I find the positive.
Instead of judging others, I look for the good in them.
Instead of gossiping and bad-mouthing others, I change the subject, or I simply walk away.
Instead of listing reasons why life is so unfair, I start counting my blessings.
Instead of calculating how something will benefit me, I figure out a way to ensure that the other party benefits.
Instead of reacting to external situations, I resist and become proactive.
