Day 4 "You must be the change you want to see in the world"

Today i would like to talk about what qualities i would like to have(i hate to say i am severely lacking in most areas)I got a lot of ideas from "uncommon beauty, 7 qualities of a beautiful woman" by Cynthia Heald. I will take each quality and work on one each week. I will write it out on a index card and carry it with me for a reminder. My favorite quote come from Gandhi " You must be the change you want to see in the world" How true is that, it starts with you. You often hear of domino effects of kindness. the same can be true for negativity, just think of how fast your day gets ruined by someone being negative. Here are the qualities i would like to see in myself. some feel like they repeat, but i want to cover each area fully.

1. PASSION-For life, love and happiness. Passion to know God and follow in his footsteps, Passion to do what i love and love what I do.

2. WISDOM- to know how to handle situations, wisdom to use past mistakes to help me grow and to help others not feel alone in their mistakes. wisdom to see people for who they are, not on appearances

3 INTEGRITY- To be honest with myself and others. to live an honest life. to do what is right no matter how hard it is.

4. SELFLESSNESS- To give all i have without holding back. to put others needs ahead of my own.

5. GRACIOUSNESS- to be grateful for all that i have and everything i have been able to accomplish. to give thanks always. to remember all my blessings and give praise to God for all he has given me.

9. HAPPINESS- For it to shine out of me with full force and love. even if i have to fake it till i make it. happy to be me. happy in my own skin. to allow job to come inside of me. to create fun where it is missing. to smile and spread joy. to up lift others to brighten someones Else's day.
