To be able to recognize something you must know it. You know a rose when you see one, you know a rain when you see and feel it and the list could go on and on. The good you see and find in others, is within you too. The faults you see and find in others, are your faults to. The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you to also achieve. The beauty of life and nature you see around you, is your beauty. The world around you, the circle in which you dwell, the influences in your life is a reflection, it's a mirror showing you the person you are. To change your world, the change must come from within you. To blame, point the finger and complain will only make matters worse, as you are ultimately looking with out and not looking within. Whatever you care about, is your responsibility to cherish and keep. What you see and either like or dislike in others, shows you what you like or dislike within yourself.

Always see the best in others, and you will always be your best. Give to others, and you give to yourself. Be patient with others allowing them the time and space they need to grow, to grow on their own time, in their own space, in their own way and not in your set time frame, as what may be good, necessary or relevant for your life may not be the same for another.  But rather be there to encourage, be there to support.\, be there to help guide.  Do not quick to give up on people or discard them when they are not conforming to your schedule, as I am sure they would not give up on you as easily.

Appreciate beauty and what is beautiful, and you will be beautiful. Respect and admire creativity, and you will be creative. Love unconditionally, give love, show love, be love and you will be loved. Seek to understand, and appreciate that everyone has a path, has a journey and a story and you will be understood. Take the time to listen, and your voice will be heard. Teach, and you will learn. Show your best you to the mirror, and you'll be happy with the person looking back at you.

Think and meditate on whatever qualities you would like to have, and believe that you are achieving them that you are them.  Find qualities that you would like to exude; Gratitude, love, health, wisdom, a positive spirit and attitude, being non-judgmental of yourself or others, discernment, the strength and power for good deeds and success.  

Fill your mind with the thought that you are achieving these qualities you are making things happen.  The more you strive it make this happen the more you will notice you are changing, you are becoming these qualities, and you will start to see a new person in the mirror.  You will have peace and the more you practice and meditate on this and the more persistent and patient you are you will be conscious and you will find life growing more beautiful to you, and your strength will be increased in all areas of your life  physically, spiritually and emotionally.
