You are strong when you allow your grief to teach you to be thankful for the lesson. You are brave when you overcome your fear and help others to do the same. You are loving when your own pain does not blind you to the pain of others. You are wise when you honor both your reason and your intuition. You are honest when you admit there are times you fool yourself. You are keenly alive in the present when today’s hope means more to you than yesterday’s mistake. You are growing when you know who you are and are perpetually intrigued and excited about who you are becoming. You are free when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others. You are honorable when you find a great joy in honoring others. You are humble when you act without referring everything back to yourself. You are fair-minded when you see others for who they are, the greatest and the least, and treat them equally with dignity and respect. You are merciful when you forgive in yourself and others the faults and flaws that belong to the human condition. You are rich when you need no more than contentment and gratitude for what you have. You are self-accepting when you are at peace with your deficiencies. You are conscientious when you see your deficiencies as positive challenges in purifying your heart. You are happy when you see petunias in the early morning sunlight and are thankful for another day to find that beauty in your own soul. Author unknown
