"If anyone speaks ill of you,
Praise hime always.
If anyone injures you,
Serve him nicely.
If anyone persecutes you,
Help him in all possible ways.
You will attain immense strength.
You will control anger and pride.
You will enjoy peace, poice and serenity."
- Swami Sivananda

“The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn
is unconditional love, which includes
not only others but ourselves as well”
- Elisabeth Kuble-Ross

"I believe that unarmed truth and
unconditional love will have the final word
in reality. This is why right, temporarily
defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
  - Martin Luther King Jr.

Notes and Thoughts: Think of a time that you were rude or unkind to someone, and rather than become defensive or angry, that person treated you with kindness.  What happened? Chances are you reflected on your behavior and responded to the person with a softer, gentler attitude.

This week, if someone is rude or unkind, try not to lash out. Instead treat that person kindly. Then notice what happens.

Recently I was feeling tired and premenstrual. A project manager that I’m working with sent me a design proof that was poorly done (for the third time). In providing feedback to her I was snappy and impatient. Rather than become defensive or angry, she responded in a calm, respectful and genuinely kind manner. Instantly I realized the inappropriateness of my behavior and softened my tone. By responding to my anger with love she kept the situation from escalating, appeased my frustration and kept herself out of ‘hot water’.   And, most important, she created a situation where both parties came out ‘winners’.

In order to give unconditional love to others, we have to first give unconditional love to ourselves. The next time you become self critical, remember to treat yourself with kindness and compassion. Only then will you be able to give that same kindness and compassion back to the world.
