“It’s extremely helpful to spend time each morning, even if only five minutes, using whatever meditation or prayer technique you relate to, to train your attitudinal muscles to think with love.

At the beginning of each day, before you meet or interact with anyone, consciously and proactively send your love before you. Then, say to yourself silently as you look at others throughout the day, “The love in me salutes the love in you.”

To any situation, surrender to God whatever judgments you bring with you. This kind of practice will give you more than peace; it will work miracles in your life.

There’s no room for darkness in a house that is filled with light, and there’s no room for fear in a mind that is filled with love. The key to attracting, maintaining, and healing relationships is to fill our minds with light—surrendering ourselves to be used by God, that we might become a blessing on everyone we meet.”
