- To be genuinely pleased when someone has a success in his or her life, and is thrilled to share it unabashedly.
- To take pleasure, simple pleasure, in the beauty and goodness that are created by others.
- To not feel inadequate or wanting because they cannot, at this point, have what another person has.
- To not begrudge even one tiny little bit the beauty created by someone, which that person created from scratch with pleasure and no expectation.
- To not look askance when someone expresses genuine emotion or passion.
- To not compare themselves with others, even if it’s the habit of a lifetime.
- To not beat themselves up internally for not doing their best.
- To not beat themselves up for begrudging someone his or her success.
- To not beat themselves up for feeling bad about feeling bad.
- To feel alive to the very tips of their fingers and toes, and the top of their heads, and to welcome all that is beautiful and loving into their hearts.
With love,
Dreamer of Dreams
