This one is simple in its concept - believe the best about others. I love the quote by Alice Herz-Sommer, "I know about the bad, but I look at the good." This is from a concentration camp survivor who lost much of her family to its horrors.
Your other person certainly has bad qualities, but they also have good ones. Let's choose to look at the good things.
Today's Challenge: Get two sheets of paper. On the first one, spend a few minutes writing out positive things about your other person. Then do the same with negative things on the second sheet. Place both sheets in a secret place for another day. There is a different purpose and plan for each. At some point during the remainder of the day, pick a positive attribute from the first and thank your other person for demonstrating this characteristic.
When complete reflect on the following: 1. Which list was easier to make? 2. What did this reveal about your thoughts? 3. What attribute did you thank your other person for having?
