The Golden Rule

EXPECT- nothing of anyone! ACCEPT- others as they are! RESPECT- everyone regardless! CONTROL- yourself because it’s all you control!

When I read this, I felt as if it was speaking directly to me.....Powerful words that are hard to live by, whether you are an adult, teen, pre-teen or small child. This is something that we must practice every day.
I don't think it means that you should allow anyone, no matter who they are, to treat you horribly, speak to you badly or bully you in any way....
What it means to me, is that we as humans must....
EXPECT nothing from anyone that you are not willing to give yourself....
ACCEPT other's for who they are and what they look like, it is not for us to judge (who are we to pass such judgments on our neighbor)....
RESPECT those around you, for respect is a valuable tool, it will have powers that are limitless....
CONTROL yourself and your actions, for in this life you...and yourself....are the only ones that you have control over. You cannot control anyone's thoughts and actions, but your own.
You are the pilot of your life and owning your thoughts and energy is POWER..
At the end of the day these four little words are simply the Golden Rule....

TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO TREAT YOU!!

As Always BE SWEET,
