Loosid Sober Tip of the Day January 19

When we look for the good in others, we discover the best in ourselves.

This quote, by Martin Walsh, is one of the most important aspects of living a life of emotional sobriety.

It is very easy to see the fault in others. Finding the good in others requires us to completely remove ourselves from the equation and look at the other person from an objective viewpoint.

When we are born, we operate with no faults, bad intentions, or hidden motivations.

There is no greed or jealousy. We have not been told how we should act nor how others should not act.

Everything we think we know has been taught to us by experience from either what we have heard or seen.

Just for today, remove yourself from the equation and look at the person or persons you currently resent.

Find the good in them. Try to understand why they may act the way they act and do what they do. So much of what we do is done from fear, insecurity and lack of self-esteem.

Remember, everyone started in the same place. Concentrate on the good in those people today.

Its hard to have a resentment when you find the good in those you may resent. Also if you have an attitude of gratitude it's hard to stay negative :slightly_smiling_face:

I always try to find the good in someone to determine why they act the way they do and to see if they are actually good to have in my life and it always ends in emotional pain and stress

Totally mind blowing cause I thought of a couple people i am really disliking right now lol I'm always open to new ways of thinking as I'm trying to think different today

Well I have always tried to see the good in others.
Until the drugs got ahold of me, I became a very judgemental person,and I stopped trusting other people, didn't really care how someone else felt
Now that I'm not that person any more its clicking be nice to others and treat them how you wanna be treated.
Love thy neighbor
