Fr. Justin Belitz.

1) There is Beauty in Everyone and Everything.
- receive all persons (including yourself) and all life situations as beautiful, exactly as they are, and share only the good you see in others
- pass on some good news about: yourself, someone you dislike, someone with whom you are angry, and someone to whom you have been unkind.

2) You Can Change Yourself, You Cannot Change Others
- become the change you want to see in others
- choose someone with whom you want to build or improve a relationship. Do to, no for them, what you would like them to to, or for you.

3) You Can Take Control of Your Life
- consciously create your own reality: set specific goals and think creatively about the future
- write one goal that you would like to achieve during the next year

4) Giving Freely is Always Joyful
- give for the pleasure of giving, not for what you get in return
- give some non-material gift to someone you love

5) It is Important for Others to Give to You
- provide opportunities for others to give
- the next time someone wants to give you something, accept graciously

6) Difficulties and Pain are Opportunities for Growth
- see problems as challenges
- write down the advantages of some difficulty or pain that you are experiencing at this time in your life

7) The Divine Plan is Perfect
- expect the best - demand nothing.
- make a list of the people who love you, and in meditation, accept them where they are, especially with all their shortcomings, faults and failings
