when in doubt, do the positive

it's how i react that matters.

no matter how well you treat other people, you can't expect them to reciprocate the kindness. be prepared for their worst. it would be nice to be treated the way you treat other people, but in reality, one can only hope. still, it's better to see the goodness in other people and believe they will one day have a moment of enlightenment.

i can choose to ignore the difficult people in my life.

or i can get affected and stress over their little tricks.

when in doubt, do the positive.
