I love how you articulated the 4-parts-of-your-self to make a decision. (mind/heart/soul/body).

I sometimes forget to consider one or more of these parts which does throw me off balance when I make a decision or take an action. Its so crucial to remember and I think I would be in a more peaceful state if I do.

Hi everyone. Thanks for stopping by. I am so glad that you stumbled here!

@Tina: I’m glad you liked the tips. I wonder how smiling at everyone worked out for you?

@Zeus: I started doing this with oranges at Christmas time. I always felt bad when people walked up to my car with the signs that said, “Hungry.” But, I learned the hard-way that it’s better to drive around with “non-perishables.”

@Lisis: I have thought about eye contact a lot. It’s really important that we stop in the busy-ness of the world and actually answer the question, “How are you” with a genuine response.

@Karlil: So true isn’t it? We can give out everything we have and love people but it’s meaningful when we first love ourselves!

@Walter: You’re right. It’s not up to us to figure out their intention. I do think it’s important to stop and examine our own intentions before we do an act.

Hi Kaizan,
I also grew up in a house where we didn’t use the best stuff. It feels so good to use the best stuff and make every occasion important enough to do so. Thanks for visiting.

Nice post! The point that stood out for me, was use your “best” stuff. I grew up in a home where you kept your best stuff for when guests were around (I’m sure most of us did), but now I make a habit of wearing my best stuff all the time. It’s great!

Oftentimes, we really doesn’t know if a certain person is being kind of just superficial. However, doing good deeds for someone is better that being careless at all. It’s not ours to know their intention, we just need to be grateful for the things being done for our benefit.

I love your list. Especially the part where you first love yourself. That is so true. Love yourself to loving others. Love others to love yourself. Great post Naz

Great list! One of my favorite things, which you mentioned a couple of times, is eye-contact. Whether I’m talking to someone I know, or greeting a stranger on the street, I find that looking directly at them comes across as a more valuable connection than just mumbling a, “How’s it going?” under my breath. Looking in another person’s eyes lets both souls connect, even if it’s only for a moment, and this helps both people feel a little bit more alive… less neglected.

So many great choices on your list!
