When patience is challenged deliberately by others...smile and laugh, it's like water off a duck's back.

Sometimes these are people that you cannot entirely rid yourself of, such as family or family "friends."

Power struggles between other people ought not exist in your life, it's like the Easter bunny or Scooby-doo, It's not real. Don't waste your time or energy.

Your mind, body, and soul ought only seek out those who're in your best interest, and appreciate you as a human being.

If someone offers you a lesson, or a piece of advice that can enhance your life in a better way.

Have the open mind, and the lack of an ego to incorporate it into your life.

Why ? Because you know that you don't know all the answers.
