be kind with an open mind...

Make an effort to understand people before you judge them. We’re all weird in our own ways and that’s what makes us normal. No one has the right to condemn or label people. Not even if you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. Because no two people are the same. What’s bad for you might not be bad for me. When I’ve reached a limit, you might be able to push on much longer. 

Think before you stereotype. People are not shells. There’s always something deeper- a reasoning behind everything. And so much we can learn from those we perceive to be different from us.

We’re all onions in the vegetable patch of life.

Just because you don’t agree with something, doesn’t make it wrong. Just because you’re unhappy, it doesn’t give you the right to attack. Put your ego aside and realize the consequence your every word and action has in relation to other people.

We can be so nasty and not even be aware of it. Guys, everything we put out there comes back to us. So be kind and considerate. And enjoy the endless benefits it brings. 

“Some of us run in the middle of the night.  Some of us strum acoustic guitars and smoke joints.  And others go to church.  Or sip expensive wine.  Or surf on dangerous waves.  Or jump out of perfectly good airplanes.  When we try to understand people by personally relating to the things that they do, we usually can’t make any sense of it.  Because it’s easier to see weirdness in a sea of normality, than it is to decode the logical methods behind one’s madness.

But when we look just a little deeper, by making a noble effort to understand people by truly listening to why they do the things that they do, they never seem quite as weird.  Actually, they begin to seem…

Almost normal.”
