“When you are content to be simply be yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.”—Lao-Tzu
Gratitude
My coach recently posed an excellent question to me that has help me look at things a bit differently. Many of us understand the value of gratitude and attempt to practice it in our lives. I know I do and I recommend it as a vaccine against depression. But I have never taken it to this level before. The question is: “What do you think would happen if everything you forget to be grateful for is taken away”?

One of the things that keeps coming up with the couples I talk to is the natural tendency to want to give what we would most like to get instead of what the other person would want in that situation. I’m not talking about material gifts here; I’m talking about the responses we give to each other.

You Are NOT a Victim
InsideOut Empowerment Principle #10: You are not a victim of anything—not your emotions, your past, other people, circumstances, or your character. Once you learn and practice these principles of InsideOut Empowerment®, you will have the power to take a different path at any moment you choose. You have it now but you will learn to harness its use. In our society especially, there is a lot of benefit in being the victim. We have created a culture where people are no longer responsible for their own actions. Do bad things happen to good people? Of course they do but people are responsible for how they respond to those things.
