People are to be loved, cherished, and understood, just as you wish to love and be loved. They are amazing as they are, just as you are.

Leave the judgments alone. Learn to notice the little adoring things about them. See the positives, where once you only saw fault.

Be fascinated by their wildest dreams, and their quirky ways. Find wonderment in everyone’s uniquely distinctive voice and laugh.

Appreciate their fascinating backgrounds and beautiful cultures. Recognize their vast achievements. Empathize with their deepest struggles.

Praise them when they have given their best, as you too would like to feel appreciated. Hug them with warm, loving embraces when their sadness overwhelms them. Share in their joy, for their joy is also yours.

Give genuine compliments. All without expectations, as you learn the art of unconditional love. Offer all this compassion for yourself too, for you are your ultimate reflection.

Do all of this, and watch how your relationship with the world dramatically changes in incredible ways. The Universe loves this stuff, and the love reflected is out of this world.

It feels fantastic to see and feel others in all their authenticity, as they reflect this energy to you, as you, and as them. And for us all being forever interconnected in harmony as One. Mirror, mirror, on the wall. We are all the fairest in the Universe.

Remember. Animals are people too.

There may be the odd person we cross paths with that just don’t cut it. In which case, “not so cool people be gone!” (Wave your fingers magically, just as Captain Jack Sparrow would to help that process, and well, just for fun really.)

Learn, and keep on skipping down the yellow brick road.

Dogs? Nah, no such thing as an uncool dog.

"When people try to tell you who you are, don’t believe them. You are the only custodian of your own integrity, and the assumptions made by those that misunderstand who you are and what you stand for reveal a great deal about them and absolutely nothing about you." — Maria Popova of #brainpickingsdotorg #youarethemagic
