2) In reality, we should always display an attitude that reflects kindness, optimism, friendliness, and concern. The other person’s disposition, whether it’s sour or sweet, should have nothing to do with our being what we want to be. We should never withhold the fine inner qualities that develop and grow as we continue to live the program. In time, we begin to learn that this attitude always comes back to us in the form of greater peace and happiness. And what’s great about it is that it’s always under our direct control.
