What we want so desperately

1. We want to be able to trust people.  Put another way, we want people to make guarantees to us. — Instead, we can work on keeping our promises to ourselves

2. We want love and acceptance from others, so we feel valued and validated.  Instead,  practicing compassion / love for others makes us feel truly important - because then we are.  

3. We want to have the best of everything.  But - the happiest people don’t have the best of everything - they make the best of everything.  

4. We want to be happy.  But - we too often complain, judge others and wish it were different.  We call it “being realistic.” Instead,  just stop it and be happy.

Here’s a funny take on negativity from Bob Newhart.  Enjoy!
